6.4 Occupant Restraint System
The ROXOR is designed to carry one person per seat belt, all
wearing proper protective gear. Refer to section 8 Riding Gear for
more information. The operator and passengers must latch the
side nets or close full doors (if equipped) and wear seat belts at all
times when riding.
If driver's seat belt is not fastened when the ignition is turned on,
the seat belt indicator lamp will illuminate, and flash when driving.
6.5 Riding Carefully
The ROXOR handles differently from other vehicles. A collision or
rollover can occur quickly, particularly during abrupt maneuvers
such as sharp turns, hard acceleration or deceleration, and driving
on hills or over obstacles if you fail to take proper precautions.
Never operate at excessive speeds. Always go at a speed that is
proper for the terrain, visibility, and operating conditions, as well
as your experience. Never attempt jumps, side slides, donuts or
any other stunts. Never attempt rapid acceleration or deceleration
when performing a sharp turn. This may result in a rollover. Never
attempt skidding or sliding. If the vehicle starts to skid or slide,
counter steer in the direction of skidding or sliding. On extremely
slippery surfaces, such as ice, go slowly and be very cautious in
order to reduce the chance of skidding out of control. Always be
sure there are no obstacles or people behind the vehicle when you
operate in reverse. Pay attention to blind spots. When it is safe to
proceed in reverse, go slowly. Never exceed the stated load limits
for this vehicle. Cargo must be properly secured. Reduce speed,
allow for greater braking distance and follow all instructions in
section 19 Moving Loads and Doing Work. Always remember that
the ROXOR is heavy! Its pure weight alone may entrap you should
it tip or rollover.
6.6 Terrain Condition
The ROXOR is not equipped for, or legal to operate on, public
streets, roads, or highways. If you must use the ROXOR on public
streets, roads, or highways, avoid abrupt inputs to the steering
wheel, accelerator pedal and brake pedal. Be alert of motor
vehicles that are equipped for on road use, as the ROXOR is not.
Take the time to learn how the ROXOR performs in different
environments by reading and comprehending section 18 General
Driving Techniques. Check the terrain carefully before you start up
and down hills, enter or exit water, or drive through tall grasses
when the surface texture is not visible. Remember that wet brakes
may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after leaving
water and if necessary, apply them several times to let friction dry
out the brakes.
Sudden changes in terrain caused by holes, depressions, banks,
softer or harder ground or other irregularities may cause the
vehicle to roll over or become unstable. To avoid this, slow down
and always observe the terrain ahead. If the ROXOR does begin to
roll over, the best advice is to immediately steer in the direction of
the rollover and do not attempt to prevent a rollover with your
arms or legs. Always keep your limbs inside the Rollover Protective
Structure (ROPS).
