General Operation - Cushman AC TUG Owner's Manual

S
AFETY
All vehicles can be used for a variety of tasks beyond the original intended use of the vehicle; therefore, it is
impossible to anticipate and warn against every possible combination of circumstances that may occur. No
warning can replace good common sense and prudent driving practices.
Good common sense and prudent driving practices do more to prevent accidents and injury than all of the
warnings and instructions combined. Textron Specialized Vehicles strongly suggests that all users and main-
tenance personnel read this entire manual paying particular attention to the CAUTIONS, WARNINGS and
DANGERS contained therein.
If you have any questions regarding this vehicle, contact your TSV/CUSHMAN dealer or write to the address on the
back cover of this publication, Attention: Customer Care Department.
