WARNING
z THE TOMBERLIN ANVIL IS EQUIPPED TO OPERATE AT A TOP SPEED OF 25MPH
(40 KPH) AND IS INTENDED FOR USE AS A LOW-SPEED-VEHICLE.
WARNING
WHEN OPERATING VEHICLE ON PUBLIC ROADS
THIS VEHICLE OFFERS MUCH LESS CRASH PROTECTION THAN A NORMAL

DEATH ON COLLISIONS, EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS. THE HIGHER THE SPEED OF THE
TRAFFIC AROUND YOU, THE HIGHER THE RISK OF INJURY MAY OCCUR.
To reduce these risks:
z Obey all traffic regulations.
z Avoid roads with regular traffic, even if the speed limit is low.
z Whenever possible, stay on roads and lanes limited to low speed vehicle.
z All passengers should wear safety belts at all times.
z Avoid operating vehicle at night if possible, because your vehicle may be hard for others
to see.
z To reduce the chance of the vehicle tipping over, reduce speed when turning and
maneuvering through curves and hills.
z Never drink and drive. Not only is drinking and driving unsafe, but doing so may violate
state and local laws.
