General Operation

Carefully read in their entirety the vehicle’s operator’s manuals and this equipment’s operator’s manuals before attempting to assemble or operate the equipment. Keep both manuals in a safe place for future and regular reference and for ordering replacement p a r t s.
The vehicle is designed for off-road usage and should not be operated on public highways. Know and comply with all laws and regulations governing the use of off-highway vehicles in your area.
The vehicle handles and maneuvers differently than a normal passenger car. Sharp high speed turns and abrupt maneuvers can cause vehicle to roll over or go out of control. Slow down when turning and avoid abrupt maneuvers.
Be familiar with all instructions and controls and their proper operation before starting the vehicle.
Do not allow children to operate vehicle. Do not allow adults to operate it without proper instruction. Only persons well acquainted with these rules of safe operation should be allowed to use the equipment.
Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways. This vehicle is not intended for use on any public roadway.
No one should operate this equipment while intoxicated or while taking medication which impairs the senses or reactions.
Never carry more than one passenger. This vehicle is designed to carry the driver and one passenger only. No riders are allowed in cargo box or anywhere else on vehicle.
Keep all body parts (i.e. head, arms, hands, legs, feet) inside vehicle when vehicle 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, use extra caution when mounting or dismounting the vehicle.
Inspect area around vehicle before moving, especially in reverse. Back up slowly. Always look down and behind before and while backing to avoid a back-over accident. Keep bystanders out of area.
Do not mount or leave vehicle while it is in motion or in actual operation.
Never leave vehicle unattended with the key in the ignition. Always turn key to the “Stop” position, set the parking brake and remove key.
Check overhead clearances carefully before driving under low 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.
Engine must be stopped when cleaning, servicing, adjusting,repairing, or installing attachments on utility vehicle.
The vehicle and attachment should be stopped and inspected for damage after striking a foreign object. The damage should be repaired before restarting and operating the equipment.
Do not start and run vehicle in an inside area, unless it is adequately ventilated. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide fumes, which are very poisonous and can be deadly.
Always inspect the vehicle each time you use it to make sure it is in safe operating condition.
Operate blade only in daylight or in good artificial light. Always use vehicle lights while operating in low light situations.
Avoid overturns—Do not clear snow across the face of slopes. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do not attempt to clear steep slopes.
No one should be allowed near the working area when the blade is being operated.
Do not overload the vehicle capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast of a rate. Take the time to do the job in a safe manner.
Be careful to avoid catching the blade on stumps or other immovable objects.
Never use the blade to tow another object.
Use extreme care when operating close to ditches, fences or on hillsides.
Be sure that the blade is fully raised and is in the straightforward position when in transport.
When turning close to buildings or passing through narrow areas, be sure to allow sufficient clearance for the blade.
If situations occur which are not covered in this manual use care and good judgement. Contact your local Massimo dealer, or call toll free 1 877- 881-6376 for assistance.

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 i s steeper than a 15°incline, do not operate this unit on that 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 t o the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the vehicle. They do not understand the dangers. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. Avoid run over 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.
Use extreme care 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 key when vehicle is unattended to prevent unauthorized operation. Never allow children under 16 years old to operate this vehicle.
Children 16 years old and over should read and understand the operation instructions and safety rules for the vehicle and equipment, and should be trained and supervised by an adult.
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.
