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
YXZ10YEXP / YXZ10YEZP has higher ground
clearance and other features to handle rug-
ged terrain, and, as a result, can overturn in
situations where some vehicles may not. This
would include vehicles made primarily for
pavement, roads,
grounds-keeping. If you do not use care in
maneuvering the YXZ10YEXP / YXZ10YEZP,
you can cause it to roll over even on flat, open
areas.
Doing things
YXZ10YEZP that some people do for thrills in
other vehicles [such as sideways sliding,
skidding, fishtailing (rear-wheel sliding), or
donuts] have led to side rollovers. These roll-
overs can result in crushed limbs and other
serious injuries or death to drivers or passen-
gers.
