CAUTION

This unit does not have proper turn signals, lights, reflective markings, or a slow moving vehicle emblem. Driving on a street or roadway without such equipment is dangerous and can lead to accidents causing personal injury. Driving on a street or roadway without such equipment may also be a violation of State laws and the operator may be subject to traffic tickets and/or fines.

Do Not drive a unit on a public street or roadway.

WARNING

Loading a unit on a trailer or truck increases the possibility of tip-over. Tip-over could cause serious injury or death.

Use extreme caution when operating a unit on a ramp.

Use only a single, full width ramp; Do Not use individual ramps for each side of the unit.

If individual ramps must be used, use enough ramps to create an unbroken ramp surface wider than the unit.

Do Not exceed a 15° angle between ramp and ground or between ramp and trailer or truck.

Avoid sudden acceleration while driving unit on a ramp.
