Indicates hazards or unsafe situations which could result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION
Indicates hazards or unsafe situations which could re­sult in property damage or minor to moderate personal injury.
To reduce risk of serious injury and accident:

highway & off-road use.
 Avoid sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers or steep
side-cambers.

cause the vehicle to trip, roll, lose traction or com­promise your ability to safely brake in an emer­gency.

usual wear or off-road damage. Repair or Replace any unserviceable components before use.

ally does not relate to personal injury, although damage
