SAFETY
29
Never operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain until you have learned and
practiced the skills necessary to control this vehicle on such terrain. Always be especially
cautious on these kinds of terrain.
Never operate this vehicle on hills too steep for the vehicle or your abilities. Practice on small
inclines.
Always follow proper procedures for climbing or going down hills. Never go over the top of
any hill at high speed.
Never attempt steep hills or side hilling when pulling a trailer.
Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area. Always follow proper procedures
when operating over obstacles or fallen trees.
Never operate this vehicle in deep water or fast flowing water. Remember that wet brakes
may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply
them several times while driving slowly to let friction dry out the brakes.
Always ensure to properly park the vehicle on the flattest terrain section available. Put the
shift lever in PARK, stop the engine, and remove the key before leaving the vehicle.
Never assume that the vehicle will go everywhere safely. Sudden changes in terrain caused
by holes, depressions, banks, softer or harder ground, or other irregularities may cause the
vehicle to topple or become unstable. To avoid this, slow down and always observe the
terrain ahead. If the vehicle begins to topple or rollover, the best advice is to immediately
steer in the direction of the rollover.
Never attempt to prevent a rollover with your arms or legs. Always keep limbs inside the
ROPS cage.
