Avoid driving through water, since loss of control may 
16. 
occur. Drive belt may slip if exposed to water thus reducing 
vehicle pulling power and stopping vehicle entirely. 
Always use vehicle lights while operating in low light 
17. 
situations.
Do not mount or leave vehicle while it is in motion or in 
18. 
actual operation. 
Avoid sudden starts, stops, or turns and always use a level 
19. 
turn-around area.
Never leave vehicle unattended with the key in the ignition. 
20. 
Always turn key to the “Stop” position, set the parking 
brake and remove key. 
Check overhead clearances carefully before driving under 
21. 
low hanging tree branches, wires, power lines, bridges, 
before entering or leaving buildings, or in any other 
situation where the operator and/or operator protective 
structure (OPS) may be struck, which could result in serious 
injury.
Use the operator protective structure (OPS) and seat belt 
22. 
for safe operation. Overturning the utility vehicle without 
a operator protective structure (OPS), or with a operator 
protective structure (OPS) and the seat belt unfastened, 
can result in death or injury.
Always use the seat belt, except if the operator protective 
23. 
structure (OPS) has been removed.
Improper use of the vehicle or failure to properly maintain 
24. 
it could result in decreased vehicle performance or 
personal injury.
Engine must be stopped when cleaning, servicing, 
25. 
adjusting, repairing, or installing attachments on utility 
vehicle. 
After striking foreign objects, stop the unit and shut off the 
26. 
engine. Inspect for damage and repair the damage before 
restarting and operating equipment.
Do not start or operate vehicle in an inside area, unless it 
27. 
is adequately ventilated. Engine exhaust contains carbon 
monoxide fumes, which are very poisonous and can be 
deadly.
Do not change engine governor setting or over speed the 
28. 
engine. The governor is set at the factory for safe operating 
speed. 
Assure safety interlock switch is adjusted correctly so 
29. 
engine cannot be started unless gearshift is in the neutral 
position. 
Do not touch engine or muffler while engine is running or 
30. 
soon after it is stopped. They will be hot and can cause a 
burn.
Always inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make 
31. 
sure it is in safe operating condition. Always follow the 
inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules 
described in this manual.   
If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, 
32. 
use care and good judgement. Contact your local service 
center or call toll free 1-877-282-8684 for the name of your 
nearest service center.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and rollover 
accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. If a slope is 
steeper than a 15° incline, do not operate this unit on that area. 
Exercise extreme caution while operating on slopes. 
Do:
Travel straight up and down slopes, not across. Exercise 
1. 
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
Travel slowly while on a slope. Always keep the forward 
2. 
speed limited when going down slopes to take advantage 
of the motor braking action.
Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Avoid 
3. 
starting or stopping on a slope.
Avoid slopes with slippery, loose, or bumpy surfaces as 
4. 
they are especially hazardous.
Use extra care while carrying cargo. It may affect the 
5. 
stability of the vehicle. Spread the load evenly or tie down. 
Do Not:
Do not travel near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The 
1. 
vehicle could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge 
of a cliff, ditch, or if an edge caves in.
Do not stop or start suddenly when going uphill or 
2. 
downhill. Be especially cautious when changing direction 
on slopes. 
Do not turn sideways to the hill. The vehicle may roll over. If 
3. 
you must turn, go slow and do so carefully and gradually.
Do not carry cargo on steep slopes or tow loads.
4. 
Towing
Always use an approved hitch and hitch point provided on 
1. 
the utility vehicle.
Do not tow more than 1400 lbs. rolling weight (i.e. trailer 
2. 
plus cargo).
Never load more than 140 lbs. tongue weight on tow 
3. 
bracket provided.
Go slow and use extra care when towing a trailer. Allow for 
4. 
increased braking distance. Load trailer properly.
Do not tow heavy loads on slopes greater than 5° incline. 
5. 
When going downhill or turning, the extra weight tends to 
push the tow vehicle and may cause you to loose control 
(i.e. braking and steering ability are reduced, towed 
equipment may jack-knife and cause utility vehicle to 
overturn).
Cargo Box Loading/Operation
Do not exceed vehicle’s Total Load Capacity rating of 1,400 
1. 
lbs. This includes operator, passenger, accessories, and 
cargo.
Do not exceed 1000 lbs. load in cargo box.
2. 
Spread load evenly and secure to prevent movement.
3. 
Do not load above height of cargo box front panel. Load 
4. 
could shift forward and injure driver or passenger.
