Think Safety First
Please read all safety instructions and symbols in the safety
section. Knowing this information could help you or
bystanders avoid injury.
Danger
Operating on wet grass or steep slopes can cause
sliding and loss of control.
Wheels dropping over edges can cause rollovers,
which may result in serious injury, death or
drowning.
There is no rollover protection when the roll bar is
down.
Always keep the roll bar in the raised and locked
position and use the seat belt.
Read and follow the rollover protection
instructions and warnings.
To avoid loss of control and possibility of rollover:
• Do not operate near drop–offs or near water.
• Do not operate on slopes greater than
15 degrees.
• Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.
• Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
The use of protective equipment for eyes, ears, feet, and
head is recommended.
This machine produces sound levels in excess of
85 dBA at the operator’s ear and can cause
hearing loss through extended periods of exposure.
Wear hearing protection when operating this
machine.
