WARNING:
If a tire is punctured while driving, securely hold the
steering wheel and slowly reduce the drive speed.
If the brake is suddenly applied by strongly
depressing the brake pedal, the steering may
become out of control, possibly creating a serious
accident. Never apply the brake quickly if a tire
becomes punctured.
Never mount or dismount a moving machine. Never
allow any personnel other than the operator to ride
on the machine when driving.
Even after break-in operation is complete, avoid running
the engine at fast speed under no load.
If any abnormal condition such as an abnormal noise
or smell is noticed while driving, immediately stop the
engine and inspect the machine for any trouble.
Avoid sudden braking and turning, as this is dangerous to
other vehicles as well as your own.
The driving speed of this machine is slower than most
normal automobiles. Give way to normal automobiles
that travel at faster speeds.
Make it a habit to periodically scan the gauges
and instruments. If any abnormality is recognized,
immediately stop the machine and check the machine for
the cause of the trouble.
When required to drive on the road shoulder or in tight
spaces, use a signal person.
Slowly drive in or turn a crossing while paying attention
to the visibility ahead and in the opposite driving lane.
