General Warnings

GENERAL WARNINGS
The following safety statements must be heeded whenever the vehicle is being operated, repaired, or serviced.
See Safety Decal and Feature Identification on page 5. Other specific safety statements appear throughout
this manual and on the vehicle.
DANGER
• Battery – Explosive gases! Do not smoke. Keep sparks and flames away from the vehicle and service
area. Ventilate when charging or operating vehicle in an enclosed area. Wear a full face shield and
rubber gloves when working on or near batteries.
• Gasoline – Flammable! Explosive! Do not smoke. Keep sparks and flames away from the vehicle and
service area. Service only in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not operate engine in an enclosed area without proper ventilation. The engine produces carbon
monoxide, which is an odorless, deadly poison that can quickly accumulate in an enclosed cab. Do
not run the engine in a parked vehicle without proper cab ventilation. Move to fresh air if you feel
nausea, headache, dizziness, drowsiness or weakness.
• The vehicle will not provide protection from lightning, flying objects, or other storm-related hazards.
If caught in a storm while driving this vehicle, exit the vehicle and seek shelter in accordance with
applicable safety guidelines for your location.
• Do not weld to a wheel or rim until the tire is completely removed. Inflated tires can generate a gas
mixture with the air that can be ignited by high temperatures from welding procedures performed on
the wheel or rim. Removing the air or loosening the tire on the rim (breaking the bead) will NOT
eliminate the hazard. This condition can exist whether tires are inflated or deflated. The tire MUST
be completely removed from the wheel or rim prior to welding the wheel or rim. Failure to comply
will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
• The engine produces carbon monoxide, which is a deadly, odorless, colorless gas that can quickly
accumulate in an enclosed cab. Do not run the engine in a parked vehicle without proper cab
ventilation. Move to fresh air if you feel nausea, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, or weakness.
• Follow the procedures exactly as stated in this manual, and heed all DANGER, WARNING, and
CAUTION statements in this manual as well as those on the vehicle.
• This vehicle is not intended to be used where risk of falling objects exist. If your vehicle will be used in
such an environment, contact your local dealer.
• Do not leave children unattended on vehicle.
• Children requiring a child safety seat must not ride on the vehicle. Comply with state and local laws
pertaining to child safety.
• The driver and passenger must be restrained at all times with the seat belts provided to help prevent
injury in the event of sudden braking, collision, or roll-over.
• No more than two persons per bench seat at one time. Do not allow people to ride in any part of the
vehicle that is not equipped with a seat and a seat belt. Do not allow a passenger to hold a child in his
or her lap while the vehicle is moving.
• Prior to leaving the vehicle unattended or servicing the vehicle, set the park brake, place the
Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, turn the key switch to the OFF position, and remove
the key. Chock the wheels when servicing the vehicle.
• Improper use of the vehicle or failure to properly maintain it could result in decreased vehicle
performance, severe personal injury, or death.
• Any modification or change to the vehicle that affects the electrical system, stability or handling
of the vehicle, or increases maximum vehicle speed beyond factory specifications, could result in
severe personal injury or death.
