Safe Operation Instructions
Reading and understanding the contents of this Owner’s Manual will protect you from injury and the vehicle from damage. Your knowledge of
safe operation of this vehicle will help you train others who may operate it. This is a powerful vehicle and, as such, all driving rules, licenses
and permits apply to all TOMCAR
®
models. Your TOMCAR
®
handles differently from other vehicles such as motorcycles, ATVs and cars.
Therefore, the driver must undergo training prior to use. If you ignore the warnings contained in this Owner’s Manual and on the vehicle, and
fail to take appropriate precautions, collisions or rollovers can happen quickly, even during routine driving maneuvers such as driving over
obstacles, turning, or hill driving, and may result in severe injury or death.
TOMCAR

Vehicle Awareness

responsible for your personal safety, the safety of others and the protection of the environment. It is important that you read, familiarize yourself
