Operator Safety
Improper Tire Maintenance
Operating this vehicle with improper tires or with improper or uneven tire pressure could cause loss of
control or accident.
Always use the size and type of tires specified for your vehicle.
Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in the owner's manual and on safety labels.
Operating on Frozen Bodies of Water
Severe injury or death can result if the vehicle and/or the operator fall through the ice. Never operate
the vehicle on a frozen body of water unless you have first verified that the ice is sufficiently thick to
support the weight and moving force of the vehicle, you and your passengers, and your cargo, together
with any other vehicles in your party. Always check with local authorities and residents to confirm ice
conditions and thickness over your entire route. Vehicle operators assume all risk associated with ice
conditions on frozen bodies of water.
Unauthorized Use of the Vehicle
Leaving the keys in the ignition can lead to unauthorized use of the vehicle, which could result in an
accident or overturn. Always remove the ignition key when the vehicle is not in use.
Hot Exhaust Systems
Exhaust system components are very hot during and after use of the vehicle. Hot components can
cause burns and fire. Do not touch hot exhaust system components. Always keep combustible
materials away from the exhaust system. Use caution when traveling through tall grass, especially dry
grass.
