Important Safe Operation Practices

Operation

General Operation

1. Read, understand, and follow all instructions

on the vehicle and in the manual before

attempting to operate or service vehicle.

Keep this manual in a safe place for future and

regular reference and for ordering replacement

parts.

2. This is an off-road utility vehicle and it should

not be operated on public highways. Know and

comply with all laws and regulations governing

the use of off-highway vehicles in your area.

3. This vehicle handles and maneuvers differently

than a normal passenger car. High speed turns

and abrupt maneuvers can cause vehicle to

roll over or go out of control. Slow down when

turning and avoid abrupt maneuvers.

4. Handling and maneuvering characteristics of

vehicle change depending upon driving mode

and cargo load, particularly when operating

on paved surfaces. Heavy loads affect steering,

braking, stability, and overall handling of

vehicle.

5. Be familiar with all instructions and controls

and their proper operation before starting

vehicle.

6. Never allow adults to operate this vehicle

without proper instruction.

7. Never allow children under 16 years old to

operate this vehicle. Children 16 years old and

over should read and understand the operation

instructions and safety rules in this manual and

should be trained and supervised by a parent

unless driver has obtained a state-issued motor

vehicle driver’s license.

8. Watch for traffic when operating near or

crossing roadways. This vehicle is not intended

for use on any public roadway.

9. Do not operate this vehicle while under the

influence of alcohol or drugs.

10. Never carry more than one passenger. This

vehicle is designed to carry the driver and one

passenger only. No riders are allowed in cargo

bed or anywhere else on vehicle, except in the

driver and passenger seats.

11. Keep all body parts (i.e. head, arms, hands, legs,

feet) inside vehicle when vehicle is in motion.

12. Always remain seated and keep both hands on

the steering wheel when driving the vehicle.

13. Sit on the center of the seat and keep both feet

within the foot platform perimeter. Clean foot

platform if dirty and remove any debris from

14. Do not misuse the utility vehicle. It is a utility

vehicle, not a recreation vehicle or toy.

Recreational riding can lead to accidents,

severe bodily injury or death.

15. Inspect area around vehicle before moving,

especially in reverse. Back up slowly. Always

look down and behind before and while

backing to avoid a back-over accident. Keep

bystanders out of area.

16. Avoid driving through water, since loss of

control may occur. Drive belt may slip if

exposed to water thus reducing vehicle pulling

power and stopping vehicle entirely.

17. Always use vehicle lights while operating in low

light situations.

18. Do not enter or leave vehicle while it is in

motion or in actual operation.

19. Avoid sudden starts, stops, or turns and always

use a level turn-around area.

20. Never leave vehicle unattended with the key

in the ignition. Always turn key to the “Stop”

position, set the parking brake and remove key.

21. Check overhead clearances carefully before

driving under low hanging tree branches, wires,

power lines, bridges, before entering or leaving

buildings, or in any other situation where the

operator and/or operator protective structure

(OPS) may be struck, which could result in

serious injury.

22. Use the seat belt for safe operation.

Overturning the utility vehicle without the seat

belt fastened, can result in death or injury.

23. Improper use of the vehicle or failure to

properly maintain it could result in decreased

vehicle performance or personal injury.

24. Engine must be stopped when cleaning,

servicing, adjusting, repairing, or installing

attachments on utility vehicle.

25. After an unexpected impact, stop the unit

and shut off the engine. Inspect for damage

and repair the damage before restarting and

operating equipment.

26. Do not start or operate vehicle indoors, unless

it is adequately ventilated. Engine exhaust

contains carbon monoxide fumes, which are

very poisonous and can be deadly.

fasteners specified.

d. Never attach ropes, chains, or cables to

the OPS for pulling purposes.

e. Although the OPS, when used with a

properly secured seat belt, provides a

crush-protective environment in the

event of a tip-over or rollover, never

take unnecessary risks.

Children

1. Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is

not alert to the presence of children. Children

are often attracted to the vehicle. They do not

understand the dangers. Never assume that

children will remain where you last saw them.

Avoid run over accidents.

a. Keep children out of the immediate

area of the vehicle and in watchful care

of a responsible adult other than the

operator.

b. Be alert and turn the vehicle off if a

other than the passenger seat. Never give small

children a ride; not even in the passenger seat.

The passenger seat belts, handholds and seat

height are not designed to accomodate the

safe transport of small children.

Service

Safe Handling Of Fuel:

1. To avoid personal injury or property damage, use

extreme care in handling fuel. Fuel is extremely

flammable and the vapors are explosive. Serious

personal injury can occur when fuel is spilled on

yourself or your clothes which can ignite. Wash

your skin and change clothes immediately.

a. Use only an approved fuel container.

b. Never fill containers in the cargo bed

inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer

bed with a plastic liner. Always place

containers on the ground away from

your vehicle before filling.

c. When practical, remove gas-powered

equipment from the truck or trailer and

refuel it on the ground. If this is not

possible, then refuel such equipment

on a trailer with a portable container,

rather than from a fuel dispenser

nozzle.

d. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim

of the fuel tank or container opening at

all times until fueling is complete. Do

not use a nozzle lock-open device.

e. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes

and other sources of ignition.

f. Never fuel vehicle indoors.

g. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while

the engine is hot or running. Allow

engine to cool at least five minutes

before refueling.

h. Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no

more than ½ inch below bottom of filler

neck to allow space for fuel expansion.

i. Replace fuel cap and tighten securely.

j. If fuel is spilled, wipe it off the

equipment. Push vehicle away from

spilled fuel. Wait 5 minutes before

starting the engine.

k. To reduce fire hazards, keep engine

compartment and exhaust system free

of grass, leaves, or other debris build-

up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and

remove any fuel soaked debris.

l. Never store the vehicle or fuel container

inside where there is an open flame,

spark or pilot light as on a water heater,

space heater, furnace, clothes dryer or

other gas appliances.

m. Avoid injury from explosion or fire.

DO NOT carry fuel or other flammable

liquids in vehicle or cargo bed.

General Service

1. Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly

ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains

carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

2. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make

certain all moving parts have stopped. Remove

the ignition key to prevent unintended starting.

3. Check brake and parking brake operation

frequently as it is subjected to wear during

normal operation. Adjust and service as

required.

4. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure

the equipment is in safe working condition.

5. Never tamper with the safety interlock system

or other safety devices. Check their proper

operation regularly.

6. Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs

to the machine while the engine is running.

7. Do not change the engine governor settings or

over-speed the engine. The governor controls

the maximum safe operating speed of the

engine.

8. Maintain or replace safety and instruction

labels, as necessary.

9. According to the Consumer Products Safety

Commission (CPSC) and the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA), units in this product

category have an Average Useful Life of seven

(7) years, or approximately 400 hours of

operation. To extend the life of your unit, and

specifically after (7) years of ownership or at

400 hours of operation, have the unit inspected

annually by an authorized service dealer to

ensure that all mechanical and safety systems

are working properly and not worn excessively.

Failure to do so can result in accidents, injuries

or death. See Section 5 of this Operators

Manual for Maintenance and Service schedules.

10. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations

for gas, oil, etc. to protect the environment.

Do:

1. Travel straight up and down slopes, not across.

Exercise extreme caution when changing

direction on slopes.

2. Travel slowly while on a slope. Always keep the

speed limited when going down slopes to take

advantage of the engine braking action.

3. Keep all movement on the slopes slow and

gradual. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope.

4. Avoid slopes with slippery, loose, or bumpy

surfaces as they are especially hazardous.

5. Use extra care while carrying cargo. It may

affect the stability of the vehicle. Spread the

load evenly and secure to prevent movement.

Do Not:

1. Do not travel near drop-offs, ditches or

embankments. The vehicle could suddenly turn

over if a wheel goes over the edge of a cliff,

ditch, or if an edge caves in.

2. Do not stop or start suddenly when going

uphill or downhill. Be especially cautious when

changing direction on slopes.

3. Do not turn sideways to the hill. The vehicle

may roll over. If you must turn, go slow and do

so carefully and gradually.

4. Do not carry cargo or tow loads on steep slopes.

Towing

1. Always use an approved hitch and hitch point

provided on the utility vehicle.

2. Do not tow more than 500 lbs. rolling weight

(i.e. trailer plus cargo).

3. Never load more than 85 lbs. tongue weight on

tow bracket provided.

4. Go slow and use extra care when towing a

trailer. Allow for increased braking distance.

Load trailer properly.

5. Do not tow heavy loads on slopes greater than

5° incline. When going downhill or turning, the

extra weight tends to push the tow vehicle and

may cause you to lose control (i.e. braking and

steering ability are reduced, towed equipment

may jack-knife and cause utility vehicle to

overturn).

Cargo Bed Loading/Operation

1. Do not exceed vehicle’s Total Payload Capacity

rating of 850 lbs. This includes operator,

passenger, accessories, attachments, tongue

weight and cargo.

2. Do not exceed 350 lbs. load in cargo bed.

3. Spread load evenly and secure to prevent

movement.

4. Do not load above height of cargo bed.

Load could shift forward and injure driver or

passenger.

5. Avoid loads which exceed the physical

dimensions of cargo bed.

6. Go slow. Heavy loads will affect steering,

braking, stability, and overall handling of the

vehicle. Limit loads to those that can be safely

controlled.

7. Avoid sudden starts, stops, and turns which

could cause load to shift.

Cargo Bed Lift

1. Stop vehicle on level ground and set Parking

Brake before raising cargo bed.

2. Empty heavy cargo by hand.

3. Do not operate vehicle with cargo bed in raised

position.

4. Do not operate vehicle with cargo bed

unlatched. Always latch upon manually

lowering cargo bed.

5Section 2 — important Safe operation practiceS

11. Prior to disposal, determine the proper

method to dispose of waste from your local

Environmental Protection Agency. Recycling

centers are established to properly dispose of

materials in an environmentally safe fashion.

12. Use proper containers when draining fluids.

Do not use food or beverage containers that

may mislead someone into drinking from them.

Properly dispose of the containers immediately

following the draining of fluids.

13. DO NOT pour oil or other fluids into the

ground, down a drain or into a stream,

pond, lake or other body of water. Observe

Environmental Protection Agency regulations

when disposing of oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid,

filters, batteries, tires and other harmful waste.

14. We do not recommend the use of a pressure

washer to clean your unit. It may cause damage

to electrical components; pulleys; bearings;

or the engine. The use of high pressure and

water will result in shortened life and reduce

serviceability.

Do not modify engine

To avoid serious injury or death, do not modify engine

in any way. Tampering with the governor setting can

lead to a runaway engine and cause it to operate at

unsafe speeds. Never tamper with factory setting of

engine governor.
