OPERATION
WARNING
Always wear the seat belt when operating the
utility vehicle.
Use the following guidelines when using a utility vehicle
equipped with OPS:
1. Be aware of overhead clearances in the area of operation.
Check for clearance of door (or gate) openings and other
overhead objects such as utility lines and tree branches.
Overhead objects could catch the OPS and upset the
utility vehicle.
2. Do not modify the OPS by drilling holes for, or welding
accessories to, the structure.
3. Do not use the OPS to pull objects with the utility vehicle. Use
ONLY the utility vehicle hitch for pulling.
4. Do not operate the utility vehicle without the OPS and do not
remove the OPS.
5. In the event of an accident, have the OPS carefully inspected
and, if necessary, replaced by your authorized dealer. Do not
attempt to repair the OPS.
OCCUPANT PROTECTION STRUCTURE OPS &
SEAT BELTS NOT SHOWN
This utility vehicle is equipped with an Occupant Protection
Structure (OPS) and seat belts. When used together they are
effective in reducing crushing injuries to the operator and
passenger in the event of an accidental rollover or tip-over. The
safety provided by the OPS is minimized if the seat belt is not
properly adjusted AND buckled. Adjust the seat belts for proper
fit and connect the buckle. This seat belt is an auto-locking,
retractable type.
To wear the 3-point seat belt properly:
1. Pull the seat belt latch down and across your chest toward
the buckle. The belt should fit snugly across your hips
and diagonally across your chest. Make sure the belt is
not twisted.
2. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. Pull up on
the strap to tighten.
3. Press the red release latch on the buckle to release the
seat belt.
