Additional Warnings (cont’d)
Engine/Motor Safety
z
Keep the engine/motor free of dirt and debris, especially in the
throttle linkage area.
z
Never start the engine/motor without checking to see that the
throttle control is in the idle position and that the parking brake is
set.
z
Never start the engine/motor unless you are properly seated with
your hands firmly on the controls.
z
Never tamper with, alter, or change the vehicle's engine/motor
settings. The engine/motor governor is factory set and protects the
engine/motor from damage.
Excessive engine/motor speed is
potentially dangerous to the operator, bystanders, and the engine/motor
itself.
z
All guards must be in place prior to starting the engine.
z
Operating the vehicle in conditions where water, mud, snow, dirt,
sand or other debris can get into the throttle cable conduit and/or
the throttle mechanism can cause the cable or throttle mechanism
to bind, which may lead to throttle sticking, loss of control, and
possible death, injury, and/or property damage.
Fasteners
z
Make sure that all screws, nuts, and bolts are properly tightened. Never
over-tighten hardware that is designed to move, such as front wheels,
spindles, A-arm pivots, etc. Restricting moving parts can cause a loss of
control and possible injury or death.
z
Always replace torque-type locknuts with new locknuts of the same type
after removing the old locknuts.
