KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

This off-road vehicle will handle and maneu-
ver differently from cars, ATVs, go-carts, golf-
cars and grounds-keeping vehicles. The
YXZ10YMXN has higher ground clearance
and other features to handle rugged terrain,
and, as a result, can overturn in situations
where some vehicles may not. This would in-
clude vehicles made primarily for pavement,
roads, improved paths, or grounds-keeping.
If you do not use care in maneuvering the
YXZ10YMXN, you can cause it to roll over
even on flat, open areas.
Doing things with a YXZ10YMXN that some
people do for thrills in other vehicles [such as
sideways sliding, skidding, fishtailing (rear-
wheel sliding), or donuts] could lead to side
rollovers. These rollovers can result in
crushed limbs and other serious injuries or
death to drivers or passengers.
