Think Safety First
Read all safety instructions and symbols in the safety
section. Knowing this information could help you or
bystanders avoid injury.
Danger
Operating the machine on wet grass or steep slopes
can cause sliding and loss of control.
Wheels dropping over the edges can cause
rollovers, which may result in serious injury,
death, or drowning.
There is no rollover protection when the roll bar is
down.
Always keep the roll bar in the raised and locked
position, and use the seat belt.
Read and follow the rollover protection
instructions and warnings.
To avoid loss of control and the possibility of
rollover:
• Do not operate the machine near dropoffs or
near water.
• Do not operate the machine on slopes greater
than 15 degrees.
• Reduce the speed and use extreme caution on
slopes.
• Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
• Avoid operating the machine on wet grass.
