WARNING:
 In case a tire is punctured while driving, securely
hold the steering wheel and slowly reduce the drive
speed.
If the brake is suddenly applied by strongly
depressing the brake pedal, the steering may
become out of control, possibly creating a serious
accident. Never apply the brake quickly if a tire
becomes punctured.
 Never mount or dismount a moving machine. Never
allow any personnel other than the operator to ride
on the machine when driving.
 Even after break-in operation is complete, avoid running
the engine at fast speed under no load.
 If any abnormal condition such as an abnormal noise
or smell is notified while driving, immediately stop the
engine and inspect the machine for any trouble.
 Avoid using sudden steering or braking as much as
possible because not only own machine but also
other machines may become involved in a hazardous
condition.
 Driving speeds of this machine are lower than most
normal automobiles. Always give the right of way to
automobiles.
 Make it a habit to periodically scan the gauges
and instruments. If any abnormality is recognized,
immediately stop the machine and check the machine for
the cause of the trouble.
 When required to drive on the road shoulder or in tight
spaces, use a signal person.
 Slowly drive in or turn a crossing while paying attention
to the visibility ahead and in the opposite driving lane.
