Wear eye protection when operating or riding
the vehicle to reduce the risk of a serious acci-
dent or injury. Eye protection, such as a face
shield or goggles, may reduce the risk of foreign
material getting in your eyes and help prevent
loss of vision.
Practice for new vehicle users
You should become familiar with the perfor-
mance characteristics of the vehicle in a large,
flat area that is free of obstacles and other ve-
hicles. Practice controlling the accelerator pedal,
brakes, steering, and drive select lever. Drive at
slow speeds with gradual acceleration and
turning. Practice smooth throttle application.
Practice slowing down before turning. Practice
maintaining a steady throttle through the turn.
Avoid higher speeds until you are thoroughly
familiar with the operation of your vehicle.
Remember, driving aggressively or making ab-
rupt maneuvers even on flat, open areas can
cause side rollovers.
