is limited. Proceed slowly until you are sure trail
conditions immediately ahead are safe.
▲ Keep front wheels straight when cresting hills or going
over bumps.
▲ Do not stop, start suddenly or over accelerate on hills.
Loss of control and rollover could result.
▲ Use extreme caution when descending hills, running on
loose slippery surfaces, or when towing at maximum
capacity. Towing, braking and tractive capabilities are
greatly diminished.
▲ Do not operate vehicle on slopes over 15
▲ Avoid changing direction or making sharp steering
o
.
corrections on slopes or rollover may occur.
▲ If this vehiclebegins to tip when crossing a slope, turn the
front wheels downhill to regain stability and control.
▲ When crossing a slope on soft terrain, turn the front
wheels slightly uphill and maintain a constant speed to
maintain a straight line of travel.
▲ When descending hills or slopes apply steady pressure to
the foot brake to avoid potential freewheeling or runaway.
Do not shift vehicle out of gear. Take full advantage of
engine breaking.
▲ Never allow vehicle to coast or free wheel in neutral or
loss of control may result.
▲ If your vehicle loses power and stops on a hill,
immediately engage the foot brake. Press down on the
clutch and gently release brakes while backing slowly
down the hill maintaining a straight downhill line of travel.
Do not attempt to turn the vehicle sidewayson the hill or a
rollover could result.
▲ When traveling at night always use your headlights and
reduce speed according to visibility, trail and terrain
conditions.
▲ Avoid water crossings when possible and never cross a
body of water where depth is unknown. Loss of power will
occur if engine becomes submerged or wet. Unnecessary
crossing of streams and waterwayserodes shore line and
damages water-born habitat. If you must cross, do it at a
point where banks are not steep and proceed at a slow
and steady speed. Do not travel in water that is higher
than the floor board. Water higher than this can damage
the engine stalling the vehicle. However, intermittent
stream crossings where depth of water briefly comes into
contact with bottom of engine is acceptable. See "Going
Out on the Trail" Note 7 on page 20.
▲ Front bumper, brush guards and cargo box are not
designed as pusher bars. Do not attempt to push other
vehicles or implements or damage may result.
▲ When refueling use a UL approved non-metallic container
that has no screen or filter. Set the container on the
ground before fueling to eliminate static discharge and do
not use Methanol fuel.

▲ Do not smoke or use electrical devices including cell
phones while refueling.
▲ Always check wheel lug nut torque values two hours after
initial operation and two hours after each tire repair and/

every 100 hours of operation. See "Wheel Lug Nuts" on
page 24.
▲ Support this vehicle securely before working beneath.
Chock wheels to prevent vehicle from rolling.
▲ Do not inspect hydraulic leaks with bare hands. Always
use an object such as a stick to inspect for leaks. Serve

kinked hoses. Repair or replace hydraulic leaks and
damaged hoses immediately.
