stops. To stop the vehicle more quickly, depress
the service brake pedal.

that the vehicle is ready to run in reverse.
STARTING THE VEHICLE ON A HILL
To reduce the possibility
of roll-back which could
result in severe injury or
vehicle damage, do not release service brake until
motor has started.
Do not hold vehicle on hill by using
accelerator and motor. This will cause
premature and excessive wear to drive train components.
To reduce the possibility of permanent damage to the
drive system, it is important to prevent excessive roll-
back when starting the vehicle on a hill.
Place left foot on service brake and release the park
brake. Depress accelerator with right foot and release
the service brake by lifting left foot.
COASTING
To reduce the possibility
of severe injury or death
from coasting at above
recommended speeds, limit speed with service brake.
On steep hills, it is possible for vehicles to coast at faster
than normal speeds that may be encountered on a flat
surface. To prevent loss of vehicle control, speeds should
be limited to no more than the maximum speed on level
ground (see vehicle specification). Limit speed by releas-
ing the accelerator and applying service brake. Severe
damage to the drive train components due to excessive
speed may result from driving the vehicle above speci-
fied speed. Damage caused by excessive speed may
cause a loss of control, is costly, is considered abuse and
will not be covered under warranty.
LABELS AND PICTOGRAMS
Vehicles may be labeled with pictograms as a method of
conveying information or warnings. Appendix A illus-
trates and explains pictograms that may appear on the
vehicle. Not all pictograms shown in Appendix A will be
found on your vehicle.
VEHICLE CAPACITY
Due to the variety of
ways the vehicle may be
used, it is important that
the operator consider any potential hazards before
use to prevent serious injury or death.
The vehicle may be configured with a variety of load bed
options. (Ref. Fig. 10 on page 8). The weight of the driver
and passengers plus any options or accessories must be
deducted from the total payload rating to determine the
cargo capacity. Never exceed the rated capacity of the
load bed.
SUN TOP AND WINDSHIELD
(If Equipped)
The top does not provide
protection from roll over
or falling objects.
The windshield does not provide protection from tree
limbs or flying objects.
The top and windshield provide some protection from the
elements; however, they will not keep the operator and

from the elements, a weather enclosure can be installed.
This vehicle is not equipped with seat belts and has not
been designed to provide roll over protection.
