OPERATING IN COLD WEATHER
WARNING
Always be adequately prepared when operating in cold weather, especially
below-freezing temperatures. Cold weather can affect the engine’s ability to
start, which can be dangerous when operating in unfamiliar or remote areas.
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 any 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.
OPERATING A DAMAGED VEHICLE
Operating a damaged vehicle can result in an accident. After any rollover or
other accident, have a qualified service dealer inspect the entire machine for
possible damage, including (but not limited to) seat belts, rollover protection
devices, brakes, throttle and steering systems.
IMPROPER CARGO LOADING
Overloading the vehicle or carrying cargo improperly may cause changes in
stability and handling, which could cause loss of control or an accident.
• Always follow the instructions in this owner’s manual for carrying cargo. See
the Hauling Cargo section for details.
• Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle.
• Cargo should be properly distributed and securely attached. See the Hauling
Cargo section for details.
• Reduce speed when carrying cargo. Allow a greater distance for braking.
EXPOSURE TO EXHAUST
Engine exhaust fumes are poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness or
death in a short time. Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area.
Operate this vehicle only outdoors or in well-ventilated areas.
