eneral Safety Practices
Steep Grade
! WARNING !
In areas where steep grades exist, vehicle operations should be restricted to the designated vehicle pathways
wherever and whenever possible. Such potential hazards should be identified with a suitable warning giving
the following information:Warning: STEEP GRADE – Ascend or descend slowly, and proceed with due
caution.”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wet Areas
! WARNING !
Wet grassy areas may cause a vehicle to lose traction and may affect stability. Wet areas should be chained or
roped off to prevent access and potential accidents with injury.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sharp Turns, Blind Corners, Bridge Approaches
! WARNING !
Sharp turns, blind spots, bridge approaches and other potentially hazardous areas shall be either chained or
roped off to prevent vehicle operations or identified with a suitable warning to the operator of the nature of the
hazard and stating the proper precautions to be taken to avoid the hazard.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loose Terrain
! WARNING !
Loose terrain may cause a vehicle to lose traction and may affect stability. Areas of loose terrain should be
repaired if possible, or chained or roped off to prevent vehicle operation, or identified by a suitable warning to
operators not to operate vehicles in this area due to loose terrain or possible hazardous conditions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pedestrian Areas
! WARNING !
Areas where pedestrians and vehicles interfere shall be avoided whe
never possible by rerouting the vehicle
traffic or the pedestrian traffic to eliminate the interference. If elimination of the interference is not possible
or is highly impractical, signs should be erected warning pedestrian traffic and to drive slowly and use
extreme caution.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ventilation
CAUTION
Never charge a vehicle in an area that is subject to flame or spark. Pay particular attention to natural gas or
propane gas water heaters and furnaces.
Safety
O
n steep hills it is possible for vehicles to coast at greater than normal speeds encountered on a flat surface.
To prevent loss of vehicle control and possible serious injury, speeds should be limited to no more than the
maximum speed on level ground. Limit speed by applying the automatic brake, which is engaged by gradually
lowering your throttle speed.
Catastrophic damage to the drive train components due to excessive speed may result from driving the vehicle
above specified speed. Damage caused by excessive speed may cause a loss of vehicle control and is costly.
This is considered abuse and will not be covered under warranty. Use extra caution when towing the
vehicle.
