OPERATION WARNINGS
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Riding on frozen waterways.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Breaking through the ice can lead to severe injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never ride this vehicle on a frozen surface before you are sure the ice is thick
enough and sound enough to support the vehicle and its load, as well as the
force that is created by a moving vehicle.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Removing hands from handlebar or feet from the footrests during opera-
tion.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Removing even one hand or foot can reduce your ability to control the vehi-
cle or could cause you to lose your balance and fall off the vehicle. If you re-
move a foot from the footrests, your foot or leg may come into contact with
the rear wheels, which could injure you or cause an accident.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always keep both hands on the handlebar and both feet on the footrests
during vehicle operation.
