WARNING
Units with hydraulic pumps, hoses, or motors: Hydraulic
fluid escaping under pressure may have sufficient force to
penetrate skin and cause serious injury. If foreign fluid is
injected into the skin it must be surgically removed within
a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or
gangrene may result. Keep body and hands away from
pin holes or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high
pressure. Use paper or cardboard, and not hands, to search
for leaks. Make sure all hydraulic fluid connections are tight
and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition
before applying pressure to the system. If leaks occur, have
the unit serviced immediately by your authorized dealer.
WARNING
Stored energy device. Improper release of springs can
result in serious personal injury. Springs should be removed
by an authorized technician.
WARNING
Units equipped with an engine radiator: Stored energy
device. To prevent serious bodily injury from hot coolant or
steam blow-out, never attempt to remove the radiator cap
while the engine is running. Stop the engine and wait until
it is cool. Even then, use extreme care when removing the
cap.
Roll Bar Instructions
For models equipped with factory-installed Roll Over
Protection System (ROPS).
WARNING

important to follow the warnings listed below.

Operational Warnings

(Specific to Units Equipped with a Folding Roll Bar):
• Always use the seat belt when the roll bar is in the raised
position.
• Never use the seat belt when the roll bar is in the down
position.

absolutely necessary.
