SAFETY
DRIVING GUIDELINES
Drive responsibly. This vehicle is not a toy and
can be hazardous to operate. This vehicle has
higher ground clearance and other features to
handle rugged terrain. It can be overturned in
situations where some other vehicles may not.
Abrupt maneuvers or aggressive driving, even on
flat, open areas, can cause loss of control,
rollovers, severe injury or death. To avoid loss of
control and rollovers:
• Avoid abrupt maneuvers, sideways sliding, skidding, or fishtailing, and never
do donuts.
• Slow down before entering turn.
• Avoid hard acceleration when turning, even from a stop.
High speed off-road operation
Driving off-road vehicles to test the limits of your skills or abilities can be very
dangerous to you, passengers, and bystanders. Basic skills for driving a car,
ATV, or other off-road vehicles do not equip drivers to safely attempt high speed
off-road operation. Develop your skill gradually through training, practice, and
experience with the various driving modes of this vehicle and the terrain in which
you are operating. Always do a low speed reconnaissance run (prerun) to
become aware of anything you may encounter.
High speed off-road operation can lead to loss of control, crashes, or hard
landings that can seriously injure occupants (even without rolling the vehicle or
damaging it).
If you plan on using the vehicle for high speed, off-road competition, additional
safety equipment may be necessary. Check the rules that apply to your
competition.
Do not go over jumps — going airborne can lead to serious injury or death.
Going airborne can cause loss of control, rollovers, or crashing into the ground
and may damage the vehicle. Even without crashing, landings can be hard
enough to cause any vehicle suspension to fully compress (e.g., bottom out).
Serious injuries, including spinal injuries, can occur even if riders are properly
harnessed, wearing helmets and the vehicle is not damaged and remains
upright.
You may encounter slopes, "jumps", or other terrain features that could send the
vehicle airborne, depending on your speed. These may be defectively designed,
poorly maintained, or not suitable for this vehicle. Slow down, use extra care,
and avoid going airborne. Never take this vehicle over jumps.
