SAFETY Operator Safety Operating on Pavement This vehicle's tires are designed for off-road use only, not for use on pavement. Operating this vehicle on paved surfaces (including sidewalks, paths, parking lots and driveways) may adversely affect the handling of the vehicle and may increase the risk of loss of control and accident or rollover. Avoid operating the vehicle on pavement. If it's unavoidable, travel slowly, travel short distances and avoid sudden turns or stops. Operating on Public Roads Operating this vehicle on public streets, roads or highways could result in a collision with another vehicle. Never operate this vehicle on any public street, road or highway, including dirt and gravel roads (unless designated for off-highway use). In some areas it's unlawful to operate this vehicle on public streets, roads and highways. Turning Improperly Turning improperly could cause loss of traction, loss of control, accident or rollover. Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in this owner's manual. Never turn abruptly or at sharp angles. Never turn at high speeds. Practice turning at slow speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds. Jumps and Stunts Attempting wheelies, jumps and other stunts increases the risk of an accident or rollover. Never attempt wheelies, jumps, or other stunts. Avoid exhibition driving. Operating in Unfamiliar Terrain Failure to use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain could result in an accident or rollover. Unfamiliar terrain may contain hidden rocks, bumps, or holes that could cause loss of control or rollover. Travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert to changing terrain conditions. Operating on Slippery Terrain Failure to use extra caution when operating on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain could cause loss of traction, loss of control, accident or rollover. Do not operate on excessively slippery surfaces. Always slow down and use additional caution when operating on slippery surfaces. Skidding or sliding due to loss of traction can cause loss of control or rollover (if tires regain traction unexpectedly). Always follow proper procedures for operating on slippery surfaces as described in this owner's manual. See page 35. 17
