SAFETY
Operator Safety
Turning Improperly
Turning improperly could cause loss of traction, loss of control, accident or 
overturn. Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in the 
owner's manual. 
Avoid sharp turns. Never turn at a fast speed. Never make abrupt steering 
maneuvers. Practice turning at slow speeds before attempting to turn at faster 
speeds.
Physical Control of the Vehicle
Removing hands from the steering wheel or hand holds or removing feet from 
the floor while riding increases the risk of loss of control and accident or 
overturn. The operator should always keep both hands on the steering wheel 
during operation. Passenger should always be seated in the passenger seat 
with both feet on the floor and with both hands securely grasping the hand 
holds.
Always keep head, hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times.
Jumps and Stunts
Exhibition driving increases the risk of an accident or overturn. DO NOT do 
power slides, “donuts”, jumps or other driving stunts. Avoid exhibition driving.
Descending Hills Improperly
Improperly descending a hill could cause loss of control or overturn. Always 
follow proper procedures for traveling down hills as described in the owner's 
manual.
• Use the brake pedal to control speed when descending a hill. Never travel 
down a hill at high speed.
• Always descend a hill with the direction selector on FORWARD. Never 
descend a hill in neutral.
• Always check the terrain carefully before descending a hill.
• Avoid traveling down a hill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean 
sharply to one side. Travel straight downhill.
