Owner’s Manual
Do not drive through water that is more than 12 inches (30 cm) deep.
To prevent inadvertent movement when the vehicle is left unattended, engage the parking brake,
turn key to OFF position and remove key from switch.
Always bring the vehicle to a complete stop before shifting the direction selector.
Do not take vehicle out of gear while in motion (coast).
Check area behind vehicle before operating in reverse.
All occupants must be seated with seat belts fastened and side nets latched. Keep entire body
inside vehicle and hold on while vehicle is in motion.
This vehicle is not a toy and using it while engaging in horseplay is dangerous.
Plan carefully before using the vehicle to go significant distances over unfamiliar terrain. Remem-
ber that a one hour drive may take many hours to walk back should the batteries become dis-
charged, or vehicle become stuck on unsuitable terrain.
BEFORE INITIAL USE
Record the four digit key number and store in a safe place. Individual
keys can only be replaced if the key number is known. Without a key
number the entire ignition switch will have to be replaced if keys are lost.
Make a note of the key number in the event that new keys must be ordered.
The key number is stamped into the key and into the face of the ignition
switch. Both numbers must match.
Be sure you understand the vehicle, its equipment and how to use it safely.
Read, understand and follow the safety and operation label on the dash
panel. Although the vehicle has been designed to provide safe and reliable
operation, maintaining good performance depends, to a large extent, on the
operator.
Before a new vehicle is put into operation, the items shown in the INITIAL
SERVICE CHART must be performed.
