unsafe job site ventilation.
Ø The engine on this machine may be equipped with an exhaust purifier that may reduce, but
will not eliminate these dangerous emissions.
Ø The efficiency of this purifier decreases if the engine is not properly tuned, especially if the fuel
mixture is too rich. Do not modify the stock Honda fuel/air ratio. If this machine is to be operated
regularly at altitudes higher than 6,000 feet above sea level, see the engine manual for additional
information. Excessive exhaust temperatures above 1200F (649C) will damage the purifier.
Ø The exhaust purifier is extremely hot. Do not touch. Keep all flammable material at least 10
feet away. Avoid fuel spills. Allow engine to cool at least 20 minutes before refueling.
Ø Do not operate this equipment on unsafe haul roads, load areas or
dump areas. This equipment is intended for use only on well lit, leveled
and compacted surfaces. AVOID ALL CONDITIONS OF SLOPE AND/
OR GRADE, WHICH MAY CAUSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO TIP. Never operate this equipment
on any grade or slopes greater than 15% (8 degrees), less if site conditions so warrant. Verify
that all haul roads, load and dump areas will safely support this vehicle with maximum payload.
Operating this buggy on rough, uneven surfaces will cause the steering wheels to jerk and make
it difficult for the operator to steer. All haul roads must have a suitable surface for good footing for
the operator. Wet, muddy and/or loose surfaces may cause an operator to lose his footing and
fall. Do not operate this equipment in poorly lit areas. Provide artificial lighting as required for
safe operation.
Ø Do not operate this machine under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
Ø Identify all unprotected openings on job site and do not operate this equipment near these
openings.
Ø Identify all overhead structures, electrical wires, and door openings on the job site. Be sure this
equipment and operator will safely pass through and under.
Ø Identify the load requirements for the job site. Do not exceed the load limits in weight or height
as shown on safety and operation requirements chart. Under all operating conditions, the
operator is solely responsible for a safe and secure load. If job site conditions so warrant,
reduce load and speed.
Ø Only operate this machine in daylight or OSHA conforming artificial light.
