Read and understand the following warnings before attempting to operate the vehicle: To prevent personal injury or death, observe the following: When vehicle is to be left unattended, engage parking brake, move direction selector to 'F' (forward) position, turn key to 'OFF' position and remove key. Drive vehicle only as fast as terrain and safety considerations allow. Consider the terrain and traffic conditions. Consider environmental factors which effect the terrain and the ability to control the vehicle. Avoid driving fast down hill. Sudden stops or change of direction may result in a loss of control. Use service brake to control speed when traveling down an incline. Use extra care and reduced speed when driving on poor surfaces, such as loose dirt, wet grass, gravel, etc. All travel should be directly up or down hills. Use extra care when driving the vehicle across an incline. Stay in designated areas and avoid steep slopes. Use the parking brake whenever the vehicle is parked. Keep feet, legs, hands and arms inside vehicle at all times. Avoid extremely rough terrain. Check area behind the vehicle before operating in reverse. Make sure the direction selector is in correct position before attempting to start the vehicle. Slow down before and during turns. All turns should be executed at reduced speed. Always bring vehicle to a complete stop before shifting the direction selector. See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for vehicle load and seating capacity. Read and understand the following text and warnings before attempting to service vehicle: In any product, components will eventually fail to perform properly as the result of normal use, age, wear or abuse. It is virtually impossible to anticipate all possible component failures or the manner in which each component may fail. Be aware that a vehicle requiring repair indicates that the vehicle is no longer functioning as designed and therefore should be considered potentially hazardous. Use extreme care when working on any vehicle. When diagnosing, removing or replacing any components that are not operating correctly, take time to consider the safety of yourself and others around you should the component move unexpectedly. Some components are heavy, spring loaded, highly corrosive, explosive or may produce high amperage or reach high temperatures. Gasoline, carbon monoxide, battery acid and hydrogen gas could result in serious bodily injury to the technician/mechanic and bystanders if not treated with the utmost caution. Be careful not to place hands, face, feet or body in a location that could expose them to injury should an unforeseen situation occur. Always use the appropriate tools listed in the tool list and wear approved safety equipment. Before working on the vehicle, remove all jewelry (rings, watches, necklaces, etc.) Be sure that no loose clothing or hair can contact moving parts. Use care not to touch hot objects. Raise rear of vehicle and support on jack stands before attempting to run or adjust powertrain. Wear eye protection when working on or around vehicle. In particular, use care when working around batteries, using solvents or compressed air. Hydrogen gas is formed when charging batteries. Do not charge batteries without adequate ventilation. Do not permit open flame or anyone to smoke in an area that is being used for charging batteries. A concentration of 4% hydrogen gas or more is explosive. Engine exhaust gas (carbon monoxide) is deadly. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that is formed as a natural part of incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas that can cause unconsciousness and is potentially lethal. The following are symptoms of carbon monoxide inhalation: • Dizziness • Vomiting • Intense headache • Muscular twitching • Weakness and sleepiness • Throbbing in temples If any of these symptoms are experienced, get fresh air immediately. Never work around or operate a vehicle in an environment that does not ventilate exhaust gases from the area.
