Operating The Vehicle
Improper use of the vehicle or the lack of proper maintenance may result in damage or decreased performance.
Read the following warnings before attempting to operate the vehicle.
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death resulting from loss of vehicle control, the following warnings must be
observed:
When driving vehicle, consider the terrain, traffic conditions and the environmental factors which effect 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, gravel, etc.
Maintain a safe speed when driving down hill. Use service brake to control speed when traveling down an incline. A
sudden stop or change of direction may result in loss of control.
Slow down before and during turns. All turns should be made at reduced speed.
Never drive vehicle up, down, or across an incline that exceeds 14° (25% grade).
Do not permit more occupants on the vehicle than it is designed to carry. Refer to SPECIFICATIONS for seating capac-
ity.
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death resulting from improper vehicle operation, the following warnings

To prevent inadvertent movement when the vehicle is left unattended, engage the park brake by turning the key to ‘OFF’
position and remove key from switch.
Always bring the vehicle to a complete stop before shifting the direction selector.
Do not turn the key while in motion (coast) the parking brake will engage.

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.
Key Switch Operation
When the key is rotated to the far left, the vehicle electrical system is off and not operational; the park brake is
engaged in the OFF position. Rotate the key to the right to the first position, labeled R for reverse. The next posi-
tion to the right, labeled N is neutral. Rotate to the far right position, labeled F, for forward.
To prevent inadvertent operation of the vehicle when left unattended, the key
should be turned to the OFF position and removed from the switch.
To reduce the possibility of component damage, the vehicle must be stopped completely before turning the key.
