• loose or worn suspension components

TRACTION-LOK AXLE (IF EQUIPPED)

This axle provides added traction on slippery surfaces, particularly when

one wheel is on a poor traction surface. Under normal conditions, the

Traction-Lok axle functions like a standard rear axle. The axle may

exhibit a slight noise or vibration in tight turns with low vehicle speed.

This is normal behavior and indicates the axle is working.

PREPARING TO DRIVE

WARNING: Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover

rate than other types of vehicles.

WARNING: In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is

significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt.

Utility vehicles and trucks have larger tires and increased ground

clearance, giving the vehicle a higher center of gravity than a passenger

car.

WARNING: Vehicles with a higher center of gravity such as

utility vehicles and trucks handle differently than vehicles with a

lower center of gravity. Utility vehicles and trucks are not designed for

cornering at speeds as high as passenger cars any more than low-slung

sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road

conditions. Avoid sharp turns, excessive speed or abrupt maneuvers in

these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously could result in an increased

risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and

death.

WARNING: Loaded vehicles, with a higher center of gravity,

may handle differently than unloaded vehicles. Do not overload

your vehicle and use extra precautions, such as driving at slower

speeds, avoiding abrupt steering changes and allowing for increased

stopping distance, when driving a heavily loaded vehicle. Over-loading

or loading the vehicle improperly can deteriorate handling capability

and contribute to loss of vehicle control and vehicle rollover.
