Safety
Failure to operate the vehicle correctly can result in a collision, loss of control, accident or rollover, and cause serious injury
or death. Read and comply with all safety warnings in the safety section of this owner’s manual.
Improper use of this vehicle could result in severe injury or death. The vehicle is a light duty utility vehicle, NOT an All Ter-
rain Vehicle (ATV).
When driving vehicle, consider the terrain, traffic conditions and the environmental factors which affect the terrain and the
ability to control the vehicle.
Use extra care and reduced speed when driving on poor surfaces, such as loose dirt, wet grass or gravel.
Maintain a safe speed when driving up or down a hill. Use brake to control speed when traveling down an incline. A sudden
stop or change of direction may result in loss of control.
To prevent loss of control, do not move the direction selector while the vehicle is in motion. Moving the direction selector
while vehicle is in motion will result in the park brake being engaged.
Slow down before and during turns. All turns should be made at reduced speed.
Do not drive through water that is more than 12 inches (30 cm) deep.
To prevent inadvertent movement when the vehicle is left unattended turn key to OFF position and remove key from switch.
Always bring the vehicle to a complete stop before shifting the direction selector.
Do not take vehicle out of gear while in motion (coast).
Check area behind vehicle before operating in reverse.
All occupants must be seated with seat belts fastened and front side nets latched. Keep entire body inside vehicle and hold
on while vehicle is in motion.
This vehicle is not a toy and using it while engaging in horseplay is dangerous.
Plan carefully before using the vehicle to go significant distances over unfamiliar terrain. Remember that a one hour drive
may take many hours to walk back should the batteries become discharged, or vehicle become stuck on unsuitable terrain.
