SAFETY
11
Slippery Terrain
Driving on rough, wet or loose terrain increases the risk of loss of traction or control, accident or rollover. Drive slowly and use correct turning procedures
when operating on slippery surfaces.
Tires that have lost traction, and then regain traction suddenly, can cause loss of vehicle control or rollover.
Driving on Ice
Severe injury or death can result if the vehicle and operator fall through ice. Never operate the vehicle on a frozen body of water unless the ice is deter-
mined to be thick enough to support the weight and moving force of the vehicle, occupants, cargo and other vehicles operating in the same area.
Check with local authorities and residents to confirm ice conditions and thickness over your entire route. Operators assume all risk associated with frozen
bodies of water.
Vehicle Lifting
The vehicle must be on a firm and level surface for lifting. Remain constantly aware that the vehicle is not stable during the lifting process. Do not get
under a vehicle until you verify that it is stable on the jack stands. Never get under a vehicle while it is on a jack only. Put wheel chocks in front and behind
the wheels that are not being lifted. Do not allow anyone to remain or get on the vehicle at any time during the lifting process.
Read and comply with all warnings and follow the lifting procedures described on page 24.
Vehicle Modification
Do not install any accessory not approved by TEXTRON OFF ROAD. Do not modify the vehicle to increase speed or power. Any modifications or installa-
tion of accessories not approved by TEXTRON OFF ROAD can create a safety hazard and increase the risk of injury.
The warranty will be terminated if the vehicle is modified to increase vehicle speed or power.
The warranty may be terminated if original (or equivalent) replacement parts are not installed on the vehicle.
The addition of some accessories can change the handling characteristics of the vehicle. Use only TEXTRON OFF ROAD approved accessories, and
familiarize yourself with their function and effect on the vehicle.
