SAFETY INTRODUCTION
braking to help you go slowly. If necessary, use the
brakes gradually to help you go slowly.
◆ Never operate the vehicle on hills that are too steep
for it or for your abilities. Go straight up and down hills
where possible.
◆ Never operate the vehicle in fast flowing water or water
deeper than the floorboards on this model. Remember
that wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test
your brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply the
brake several times to let friction dry out the linings.
◆ Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind
you when you operate in reverse. When it is safe to
proceed in reverse, go slowly.
◆ Always check terrain before going down hills. Go as
slowly as possible. Never go down a hill at high speed.
◆ Always check for obstacles before operating in a new
area.
◆ Do not brake abruptly when carrying loads in the cargo
bed.
◆ Always use the size and type of tires specified in this
manual.
◆ Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in
this manual.
◆ Never exceed the stated load capacity. Cargo should be
as far forward in the bed as possible, and distributed
evenly from side to side. Be sure cargo is secured
so that it cannot move around during operation.
