WARNING Neglecting these instructions may cause extreme hazards.
Engine exhaust fumes are harmful to the human body and their in-
halation is extremely hazardous. When starting the engine in an en-
closed area, open the windows and doors for ventilation. Also do not
idle the engine unnecessarily or leave the engine running while the
machine is not in use.
• Keep the surface of the cabin windows and the headlights clean for clear view.
• Make sure that your machine is equipped with headlights and all required working lamps, and that
they work properly.
• For your safety, ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure)/FOPS (Falling Objects Protective Struc-
tures) with a seatbelt is installed.
• Always fasten the seatbelt across the pelvic region and adjust snugly before you operate the ma-
chine.
Never fasten a seatbelt across the abdomen.
• The seatbelt must be replaced after an accident.
• In addition the seat and seat mounting must be checked by your dealer after an accident has oc-
curred.
• If the seat and seat mounting are damaged, they must be replaced.
• Never modify the structural member of ROPS/FOPS.
• If ROPS/FOPS is damaged, replace it immediately to prevent bodily injury.
Never repair or modify it.
