General Safety
•
The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible
for accidents that may cause personal injury or
property damage.
•
Report all accidents with the machine to the owner.
•
Keep bystanders and children out of the operating
area.
•
Passengers should sit in the designated seating
positions only. Keep arms and legs within
the machine body at all times. Do not carry
passengers in the cargo bed.
•
The operator should wear substantial, slip-resistant
footwear.
•
Use your full attention while operating the
machine. Do not engage in any activity that
causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property
damage may occur.
•
Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
•
You and your passengers should remain seated
whenever the machine is moving. Keep your
hands on the steering wheel; your passengers
should use the handholds provided.
•
Do not exceed the maximum gross vehicle weight
(GVW) of the machine.
•
Use extra caution when operating, braking, or
turning the machine with a heavy load in the cargo
bed.
•
Carrying oversized loads in the cargo bed reduces
the stability of the machine. Do not exceed the
carrying capacity of the bed.
•
Operate the machine only in good visibility. Watch
for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, and loose or hidden
objects. Reduce the ground speed of the machine
when operating on rough, uneven terrain, and
near curbs, holes, and other sudden changes in
terrain that could overturn the machine. Tall grass
can hide obstacles. Use care when approaching
blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that
may obscure your vision.
•
Identify sharp turns, blind spots, bridge
approaches, and other potentially hazardous
areas, and post a warning to the operator of the
nature of the hazard(s) and the proper precautions
to take to avoid the hazard(s).
•
Do not drive the machine near drop-offs, ditches,
or embankments. The machine could suddenly
roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or if the
edge gives way.
