TERRAIN
The vehicle is designed for use on improved roads (but not on public
highways). The vehicle may also be used on established trails or open
terrain that is free from stumps, large rocks or holes.
The vehicle should not be used to cross water.
VEHICLE CAPACITY
Due to the variety of ways the
vehicle may be used, it is
important that the operator
consider any potential hazards before use to pre-
vent serious injury or death.
The vehicle may be used to transport a maximum of two people
within the operator/passenger compartment and cargo in the load
bed. Never carry passengers in the load bed. The total payload is
800 lbs. (363 kg). The weight of the driver and passenger plus any
options or accessories must be deducted from the total payload rating
to determine the load bed capacity. Remember that towing a trailer will
reduce the payload of the vehicle itself.
