Respect farm lands. Always obtain the permission of the landowner before
driving on private land. Respect crops, farm animals and property lines. If you
come to a closed a gate, close it again behind you.
Finally do not pollute streams, lakes or rivers and do not modify the engine or
exhaust system, or remove any of its components.
Off-Road Operation
The very nature of off-road operation is dangerous. Any terrain, which has pot
been specially prepared to carry vehicles, presents an inherent danger where
terrain substance and exact steepness are unpredictable. The terrain itself
presents a continual element of danger, which must be knowingly accepted by
anyone venturing over it.
An operator who takes a vehicle off-road should always exercise the utmost
care in selecting the safest path and keeping close watch on the terrain ahead
of him. On o account should the vehicle be operated by anyone who is not
completely familiar with the driving instructions applicable to the vehicle, nor
should it be operated on steep or treacherous terrain.
General Operating and Safety Precautions
Care, caution, experience and driving skill are the best precautions against the
hazards of vehicle operation.
Whenever there is the slightest doubt that the vehicle can safely negotiate an
obstacle or a particular piece of terrain. always choose an alternate route.
In off-road operation, power and traction, not speed, are important. Never drive
aster than visibility and your own ability to select a safe route permit.
Constantly watch the terrain ahead for sudden changes in slopes or obstacles
such as rocks or stumps, that may cause loss of stability, resulting in tip over or
rollover.
Never operate the vehicle if the controls do not function normally.
When operating in reverse, check that the path behind the vehicle is free of
people or obstacles. Proceed slowly and avoid sharp turns. When stopped or
parked, always set the shift lever to the PARK position and apply the parking
brake. This is especially important when parking on a slope. On very steep
inclines or if the vehicle is carrying cargo, the wheels should be blocked us inn
rocks or bricks.
Reverse Operation
When operating in reverse, check that the path behind the vehicle is free of
people or obstacles. Proceed slowly and avoid sharp turns.
