General Safety
•
The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible
for accidents that may cause personal injury or
property damage.
•
Passengers should sit in the designated seating
positions only. Do not carry passengers in the
cargo bed. Keep bystanders and pets away from
the machine during operation.
•
Wear appropriate clothing, including eye
protection; long pants; substantial, slip-resistant
footwear; and hearing protection. Tie back long
hair and do not wear loose jewelry.
•
Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
•
Operate the machine outdoors or in a
well-ventilated area only.
•
Do not exceed the maximum gross vehicle weight
(GVW) of the machine.
•
Use extra caution when operating the machine
with a heavy load in the cargo bed. The heavier
the load, the more difficult it is to turn or stop.
•
Carrying oversized loads in the cargo bed reduces
the stability of the machine.
•
Carrying material that cannot be bound to the
machine, such as a large tank of liquid, adversely
affects the steering, braking, and stability of the
machine.
•
Before you start the engine, ensure that the
transmission is in neutral, the parking brake is
engaged, and you are in the operating position.
•
You and your passengers should remain seated
whenever the machine is moving. Keep your
hands on the steering wheel; your passengers
should use the handholds provided. Keep your
arms and legs within the machine body at all times.
•
Operate the machine only in good visibility.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the
machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles. Use care
when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or
other objects that may obscure your vision.
•
Always watch out for and avoid low overhangs
such as tree limbs, door jambs, overhead
walkways, etc.
•
Look behind and down before reversing the
machine to be sure of a clear path.
•
Do not drive the machine near drop-offs, ditches,
or embankments. The machine could suddenly
