WARNING

When a track vehicle gets out of control and overturns, it is safer to stay in the vehicle than to

try to get out while the vehicle is still moving. You may receive slight injuries from being thrown

against metal parts; but if you try to leave the vehicle, it may roll over and crush you. Once the

vehicle stops moving, get out as fast as possible because spilled fuel and oil may catch on fire.

The first thing the driver should do in such an emergency is shut off the engine and turn off the

master switch to minimize the fire hazard.

WARNING

Never touch lock buttons while carrier is moving. If you lock up the steering lever while

moving, you could be injured and/or damage the carrier.

CAUTION

The full-throttle transmission detent (pedal to the floor) is not a trade-off for selecting the

proper range. Use the detent for short bursts of power, not as a way to gear down for heavy

hauling.

NOTE

Going in forward or reverse, the carrier will always turn toward the track that is moving slower.
