5 Safety Information/General Precautions
5 SAFETY INFORMATION/GENERAL
PRECAUTIONS
5.1 Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains a deadly gas known as carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that
may exist even though you may not see or smell engine exhaust.
Breathing carbon monoxide can result in headaches, dizziness,
drowsiness, nausea, confusion and could eventually lead to death.
Lethal levels of carbon monoxide can collect quickly and exist for
long periods of time when not properly ventilated. Always run the
ROXOR in a well ventilated or open area.
If you have symptoms that you think could be a result
of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area right away, and call or
go to the emergency room. If you keep breathing carbon monoxide
fumes, you may pass out and die.
Avoid running the engine in garages, carports or barns
that do not have proper ventilation. Avoid running the engine anywhere that may allow exhaust gases to be drawn into a building
through open doors, windows or vents resulting in the carbon monoxide poisoning of yourself or others.
5.2 Avoid Diesel Fuel Hazards
Diesel fuel is widely regarded as safe to handle and store in its liquid
form. However, diesel fuel in its vapor form can be dangerous, especially at temperatures above 100°F (38°C). The vaporization rate of
diesel fuel increases as the temperature increases. In the presence of
a vapor accelerant such as fan forced air or oxygen, the diesel fuel
can begin to vaporize even faster. Help reduce the risk of diesel fuel
hazards by following these instructions.
l Strictly adhere to the fueling instructions in section 14.2 Fueling
Procedure.
l Never start or operate the engine if the fuel cap is not properly
installed.
l Use only an approved (yellow) diesel fuel container to store and
transfer diesel fuel.
All fuel handling must take place in a well-ventilated
area. Avoid heat, flames and other sources of ignition, avoid inhalation of vapors and contact with skin and eyes, do not siphon diesel
fuel by mouth, never fill a fuel container inside the ROXOR as the
interior surfaces are coated, acting as an insulator and allowing static
electricity to build up, help guard against static discharges by always
filling approved containers on the ground, do not allow anyone to
remain in the ROXOR while fueling, an occupant may not be able to
leave the area quickly in an emergency, failure to follow these warnings may result in severe injury or death.

5 Safety Information/General Precautions
5.3 Avoid Hot Part Hazards
The engine, exhaust, transmission, cooling system and other ancillary parts on the ROXOR become very hot during operation. Burns
from touching these parts can happen in less than one second, but
can be very serious. Help reduce the risk of burns by following these
instructions.
l Use cool water on the burned areas. Avoid ice and cold water.
l Clean the burn area immediately, and keep the area clean.
l Cover or wrap the burn with a clean, dry gauze pad, cloth or
towel.
l For severe burns, call 911 and get medical attention right away.
l Do not apply butter, toothpaste, sprays, or other home remedies.
Avoid contact with the engine, exhaust, transmission,
cooling system and other very hot parts, during and shortly after
operation to avoid burns and any other severe injury.
5.4 Accessories and Modifications
It is important to take the time to get familiar with the ROXOR once
authorized and approved modifications are made, to help understand how to adapt your driving behavior accordingly. Mahindra
parts and accessories have been specifically designed for use on the
Mahindra ROXOR Offroad Side x Side. We strongly recommend that
all parts and accessories you add to your ROXOR be genuine
Mahindra parts and accessories, so as not to affect your safety, EPA
compliance or factory limited warranty.
Mahindra Vehicle Sales and Service, Inc. warrants that the Accessories, as further defined below, are free from defects in material and
workmanship:
l For ninety (90) days from the date of purchase, if purchased by
consumer without installation by a ROXOR authorized dealer; or
l If installed by a ROXOR authorized dealer within thirty (30) days
from the date of purchase of the Accessory, the standard Limited Warranty accompanying the ROXOR.
Do not tamper with unauthorized modifications or install equipment
not specifically certified by Mahindra for the ROXOR. These modifications have not been tested by Mahindra and they may increase
emissions, risk of injury, loss of control or render the ROXOR illegal
to use or operate.
As an example, tampering with tire specifications or ride height (lift
kit) may affect the behavior of the ROXOR and increase the risk of
roll over and loss of control. If you have questions, consult your
local authorized dealer for suitable, available accessories for your
ROXOR.
The ROXOR was certified to EPA emissions and voluntary safety standards; including the ANSI ROHVA. Any modifications or addition of accessories may affect the certifications,
emissions, safety and handling resulting in injury or death.

6 Safe Operations and Responsibilities
6 SAFE OPERATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The ROXOR is a two seat off-road work horse. Operators must be
responsible and use care to avoid rollovers, tip overs, collisions, and
other accidents. Even with vehicle safety features such as a Rollover
Protective Structure (ROPS), seat belts, shoulder guards, side nets,
doors (if equipped) and protective gear such as helmets and eye protection. There is always a risk of injury or death in these accidents.
To help reduce the risk of severe injury or death, carefully follow the
rules in this section.
6.1 Owner Responsibilities
Read this Operator’s Guide and take advantage of the resources
provided on the Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association
(ROHVA) website (http://www.rohva.org). Always inspect and confirm the safe operating condition of your ROXOR prior to a ride.
Always follow the maintenance schedule described in this Operator’s Guide. Never allow anyone to operate your ROXOR unless they
are responsible and can be trusted with an off-road vehicle like the
ROXOR. Consider supervising new operators and setting rules and
limits for anyone using your ROXOR (e.g., whether they can carry a
passenger, what they may do with the vehicle, where they may ride,
etc.). Always discuss the safety information with anyone who will be
using the ROXOR. Be sure that the operator and passenger meet the
qualifications below and agree to follow the safety information
herein. Help users become familiar with the ROXOR and its equipment.
We encourage you to have an Annual Safety Inspection of your
ROXOR. Please contact a ROXOR authorized dealer for further
details. Though not required, it is recommended that a ROXOR
authorized dealer performs the preseason preparation of your
ROXOR. Each visit to your authorized dealer is a great opportunity
for your dealer to verify if your vehicle is included in any campaigns.
We also urge you to visit your authorized dealer in a timely manner
if you become aware of any safety related campaigns.
6.2 Operator's Responsibilities
Read this Operator’s Guide and take advantage of the resources
provided on the ROHVA website [http://www.rohva.org]. Become
completely familiar with the operational controls and the general
operation of the ROXOR. Take a training course if available, contact
a ROXOR authorized dealer to find out about training course availability in your area. New operators of the ROXOR should also perform the exercises in section 10 Learning Your Vehicle. Practice
driving in a suitable area free of hazards and feel the response of
each control. Drive at low speeds. Higher speeds require greater
experience, knowledge and suitable riding conditions.
All operators must have a proper driver's license in accordance with
local laws. Be tall enough to be properly seated: back against the
backrest with the seat belt fastened, hold the steering wheel with
both hands and still be able to reach the full stroke of clutch, brake
and accelerator pedals with the correct foot. Never use the ROXOR
while consuming or under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or if

6 Safe Operations and Responsibilities
tired or ill. These effectively slow your reaction time and impair judgment.
Operators must be at least 16 years of age or older,
with a valid driver's license. Children under the age of 16 may not
have the physical or psychological capability to operate the ROXOR
without risk of injury or death.
6.3 Passenger Responsibilities
The passenger must be properly seated in the passenger seat. The
passenger must be tall enough to always be properly seated: back
against the backrest with seat belt fastened and feet firmly planted
on floor. Never carry a passenger who is consuming or under the
influence of drugs or alcohol, or is tired or ill. These effectively slow
reaction time and impair judgment. Instruct the passenger to read
the vehicle’s safety labels. Never carry a passenger if you believe
their ability or judgment is insufficient to concentrate on the terrain
conditions and adapt accordingly. More specifically for off-road
vehicles such as the Mahindra ROXOR Offroad Side x Side, the passenger must also pay constant attention to the terrain ahead and be
able to brace for bumps.
Only carry a maximum of one passenger, while properly
seated and safety belted in the passenger seat. Failure could result in
an un-belted passenger being ejected from the vehicle causing
severe injury or death.
6.4 Occupant Restraint System
The ROXOR is designed to carry one operator and one passenger,
both wearing proper protective gear. Refer to section 8 Riding Gear
for more information. The operator and passenger must latch the
side nets or close full doors (if equipped) and wear seat belts at all
times when riding.
If driver's seat belt is not fastened when the ignition is
turned on, the seat belt indicator lamp will flash and the throttle input
will be limited.
6.5 Riding Carefully
The ROXOR handles differently from other vehicles. A collision or
rollover can occur quickly, particularly during abrupt maneuvers
such as sharp turns, hard acceleration or deceleration, and driving
on hills or over obstacles if you fail to take proper precautions.
Never operate at excessive speeds. Always go at a speed that is
proper for the terrain, visibility, and operating conditions, as well as
your experience. Never attempt jumps, side slides, donuts or any
other stunts. Never attempt rapid acceleration or deceleration when
performing a sharp turn. This may result in a roll over. Never
attempt skidding or sliding. If the vehicle starts to skid or slide,
counter steer in the direction of skidding or sliding. On extremely slippery surfaces, such as ice, go slowly and be very cautious in order to
reduce the chance of skidding out of control. Always be sure there
are no obstacles or people behind the vehicle when you operate in
reverse. Pay attention to blind spots. When it is safe to proceed in

6 Safe Operations and Responsibilities
reverse, go slowly. Never exceed the stated load limits for this
vehicle. Cargo must be properly secured. Reduce speed, allow for
greater braking distance and follow all instructions in section 19
Moving Loads and Doing Work. Always remember that the ROXOR is
heavy! Its pure weight alone may entrap you should it tip or rollover.
6.6 Terrain Condition
The ROXOR is not equipped for, or legal to operate on, public streets,
roads, or highways. If you must use the ROXOR on public streets,
roads, or highways, avoid abrupt inputs to the steering wheel, accelerator pedal and brake pedal. Be alert of motor vehicles that are
equipped for on road use, as the ROXOR is not.
Take the time to learn how the ROXOR performs in different environments by reading and comprehending section 18 General Driving
Techniques. Check the terrain carefully before you start up and
down hills, enter or exit water, or drive through tall grasses when the
surface texture is not visible. Remember that wet brakes may have
reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after leaving water and if
necessary, apply them several times to let friction dry out the brakes.
Sudden changes in terrain caused by holes, depressions, banks,
softer or harder ground or other irregularities may cause the vehicle
to roll over or become unstable. To avoid this, slow down and
always observe the terrain ahead. If the ROXOR does begin to
rollover, the best advice is to immediately steer in the direction of the
rollover and do not attempt to prevent a rollover with your arms or
legs. Always keep your limbs inside the Rollover Protective Structure
(ROPS).
l Always ensure to properly park the ROXOR on the flattest terrain
section available. Refer to section 6.7 Stopping the Engine and
Parking
l Always go slowly and be extra careful when operating on unfa-
miliar terrain.
l Always be alert to changing terrain conditions.
l Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.
l Always follow proper procedures for ascending or descending
hills or crossing obstacles.
l Never assume that the ROXOR will go everywhere safely.
l Never operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain.
l Never operate on hills too steep for your abilities. Practice on
small inclines.
l Never go over the top of any hill at high speed.
l Never attempt steep hills or side hill traversing when pulling a
trailer.
l Never operate in fast flowing water or in water deeper than spe-
cified in section 18.10 Crossing Shallow Water

6 Safe Operations and Responsibilities
6.7 Stopping the Engine and Parking
Release accelerator pedal and use brakes to completely stop the
ROXOR. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and remove key
from ignition switch. When stopped or parked always put gear shift
lever in first gear and set parking brake by pushing the button in,
pulling straight up and then releasing button. To release parking
brake, pull up slightly, push and hold button in, then release down to
rest position and release button.
This is especially important when parking on a slope, you should
always try to park on the flattest and most stable terrain available.
The nominal ground clearance for the ROXOR is 9" (22.9 cm).
On very steep inclines the wheels should be blocked
using rocks or logs to help prevent sliding, avoid loose wet or slippery slopped terrain to further help prevent the ROXOR from sliding,
avoid stopping or parking in places where hot parts like the engine,
exhaust, transmission or cooling system may start a fire, like tall dry
grass, failure to follow these warnings may result in severe injury or
death.

8 Riding Gear
8 RIDING GEAR
It is important that the operator and passenger always wears appropriate protective clothing and apparel, including an approved helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, a long-sleeved shirt or jacket and
long pants. Depending on conditions, anti-fogging eye protection
may be required. Weather conditions should help you decide how to
dress. To maximize comfort and avoid frostbite in winter, dress for
the coldest weather expected. Thermal underwear next to the skin
also provides good insulation. Never wear any loose clothing that
may get entangled in the vehicle or on tree branches and shrubs.
8.1 Helmets and Eye Protection
Helmets protect you from head and brain injuries. Select a helmet
that meets the Department of Transportation (DOT) safety standard
in your state, province or country. A helmet should bear the standards DOT FMVSS 218 and/or ECE 22.05 and should fit snugly and
fasten securely.
A helmet with full face protection is the best choice because it will
protect your face from impacts. Branches, stones, insects and other
flying objects cause injury to you and your passenger, as well as
make you lose control of the ROXOR. For cold weather riding, a stocking cap or face mask will also offer protection from flying objects
and the elements.
If you choose an open-face helmet, a snap on safety shield is preferred. An open-face helmet does not offer the same protection for
the face and chin. The ROXOR's Roll Over Protection Structure
(ROPS) and side nets can not prevent all objects from entering the
cockpit area. In rough terrain conditions, your head may make contact with the ROPS or objects outside the ROXOR. The best helmet is
no guarantee against injury, but statistically a helmet significantly
reduces the risk of injury. Operator and passenger should always
wear a helmet while riding in the ROXOR.
OSHA approved eye protection is also essential to see clearly and
drive safely. Dust, dirt, rocks, bugs and branches not only distract
and obstruct your vision but can permanently damage your eyesight. Most prescription eye glasses and sunglasses will NOT
provide proper protection while driving the Mahindra ROXOR Offroad
Side x Side. The lenses can shatter causing severe eye injury. Protective eye wear, goggles and face shields should bear one of the following standards, z87.1, z87.2, VESC8, V-8, or be made of a hard
coated polycarbonate. Use tinted face shields or eye protection in
the daytime only, use clear eye protection for driving at night.
Do not use tinted lenses at night or in low light conditions as these will limit your ability to see terrain contour, which
may result in severe injury or death.
Do not use tinted lenses if they effect your ability to see
color, this may also result in severe injury or death.

8 Riding Gear
8.2 Additional Riding Gear
Riding in the ROXOR without the additional riding gear listed below
increases your chances of severe injury in the event of an accident.
Hearing Protection – Check your local laws before using hearing protective devices as they may not be allowed. Hearing protective
devices can help prevent hearing loss but also reduce your ability to
hear the surrounding sounds and may affect your safety.
Gloves – Gloves protect your hands from the elements and flying
objects. Properly fitting gloves will improve your grip on the steering
wheel and reduce fatigue. If gloves do not fit properly they may
make it difficult to operate the ROXOR controls. For cold weather riding, gloves with sufficient insulation are required to protect your
hands from frost bite.
Boots – You should not operate the ROXOR with open toed footwear. An over-the-ankle boot with non-slip soles are preferred and
will help you keep your feet firmly on the floor and foot controls.
Long shoelaces should be avoided, they can get tangled in the foot
controls and prevent you from exiting the ROXOR. For cold weather
riding, avoid oversized boots that may get trapped in the foot controls and prevent the proper operation of the ROXOR.
Clothing – Long sleeve shirts and long pants are preferred when
operating the ROXOR. In the event of a crash the right clothing may
prevent or reduce injury. For cold weather riding, wear sufficient insulation to protect yourself against hypothermia, a condition of
lowered body temperature resulting in a loss of concentration,
slower reaction times and muscle movement. Even in moderate
temperatures, wind chill can make you cold and affect your reaction
time. A windproof outer layer can prevent this. Always dress in layers so that clothing can be added and removed to keep you comfortable during your entire ride.
Rain Gear – On extended rides, carrying rain gear is a good idea. Dry
riders will be much more alert and comfortable.
