maintenance procedures and schedules described in this manual.
 Always keep both hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the vehicle at
all times during operation. Keep your feet on the floorboard. Never
hold onto the enclosure except when using the handgrip inside the
enclosure. Otherwise, your hand could be injured if it is caught
between the enclosure and an obstacle outside the vehicle.
 Always keep both hands on the steering wheel when driving.
 Never wrap your thumbs and fingers around the steering wheel.
This is particularly important when driving in rough terrain. The front
wheels will move right and left as they respond to the terrain, and
this movement will be felt in the steering wheel. A sudden jolt could
wrench the steering wheel around, and your thumbs or fingers
could be injured if they are in the way of the steering wheel spokes.
 Always go slowly and be extra careful when operating on unfamiliar
terrain. Always be alert to changing terrain conditions when
operating the UTV.
 Never operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain.
 Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in this
manual. Practice turning at low speeds before attempting to turn at
faster speeds. Do not turn at excessive speed.
 Always have the UTV checked by an authorized dealer if it has
been involved in an accident.
 Never operate UTV on hills too steep for the UTV or for your
abilities. Practice on smaller hills before attempting larger hills.
 Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described in
this manual. Check the terrain carefully before you start up any hill.
Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Never
open throttle suddenly or make sudden gear changes. Never go
over the top of any hill at high speed.
 Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and for
braking on hills as described in this manual. Check the terrain
carefully before you start down any hill. Never go down a hill at high
speed. Avoid going down a hill at an angle which would cause the
vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Go straight down the hill where
possible.
 Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill as
described in this manual. Avoid hills with excessively slippery or
loose surfaces. Never attempt to turn the UTV around on any hill.
Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill if possible.
 Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards when
