Keep all body parts (i.e. head, arms, hands, legs, feet) inside the vehicle when it is in motion.
Always remain seated and keep both hands on the steering wheel when driving the vehicle.
Sit on the center of the seat and keep both feet within the foot platform perimeter. The foot platform may become slippery from snow or ice. Pay more attention when mounting or dismounting the vehicle.
Inspect the whole area around the vehicle before moving, especially the back side. Back up slowly. Always look behind before and while backing to avoid a back-over accident. Keep bystanders out of area.
Do not mount or leave the vehicle while it is in motion or in actual operation.
Never leave the vehicle unattended with the key in the ignition. After using, always turn the vehicle to the “Stop” position, set the parking brake and remove the key.
Check overhead clearances carefully before operating under hanging tree branches, wires, etc. or in any other situation where the operator or passenger may be struck or pulled from the unit. Such negligence could result in serious injury.

Slope Operation

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and rollover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. If a slope is steeper than a 15° incline, do not operate this unit on the area. Exercise extreme caution while operating on slopes.

Do:

Travel straight up and down slopes, not across.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
Travel slowly while on a slope. Always keep the forward speed limited when going down slopes.
Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope.

Do Not:

Do not travel near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The vehicle could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff, ditch or if an edge caves in with the weight of the unit.
Do not stop or start suddenly when going uphill or downhill. Be especially cautious when changing direction on slopes.
Do not turn sideways to the hill. The vehicle may roll over. If you must turn, go slow and do so carefully and gradually.

Children

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the vehicle. They do not understand the danger. Never assume that children will stay where you last saw them. Avoid accidents.

Keep children out of the immediate area of the vehicle and in watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
Be alert and turn the vehicle off if a child enters the area.
Before and while reversing, look behind and down for small children.
Never carry small children. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe vehicle operation.
Pay extreme attention while approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees or other objects that may block your vision of a child who may run into the path of the vehicle.
Remove the key when vehicle is unattended to prevent unauthorized operation. Never allow children under 16 years old to operate this vehicle.
16 – year old children and over should read and understand the operation instructions and safety rules for the vehicle and equipment. They should be trained and supervised by an adult, too.
Do not let children ride in the cargo box, in the driver’s or passenger’s lap or anywhere other than the passenger seat. Never give small children a ride; not even in the passenger seat. They may fall off.
