S/N AJNS11001 & Above
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
Before Operation:
- Carefully follow the operating and maintenance instructions in this manual. The Bobcat utility vehicle is highly maneuverable and compact. It is rugged and useful under a wide variety of conditions. This presents an operator with hazards associated with off road, rough terrain applications, common with Bobcat utility vehicle usage.
- This vehicle handles differently than other vehicles, such as motorcycles, golf cars or cars. If you fail to take proper precautions, a collision or rollover can occur quickly, even during routine maneuvers like turning, braking, driving over rough terrain and up and down hills or over obstacles.
- This can result in severe injury or death. This vehicle is intended for off road use only and should not be operated on public roads. Driving this vehicle in an aggressive manner can increase the risk of head injury and requires head protection. For these aggressive driving conditions, Bobcat Company recommends that all occupants wear a properly fitting Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) approved helmet.
Always follow these instructions:
- Fasten seat belts for occupant restraint before operating.
- Keep hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times.
- Travel at appropriate vehicle speeds depending on the type of terrain, visibility conditions, operating conditions and your operating experience.
- Wear eye protection.
- Wear other personal protective equipment such as a helmet or hard hat, face protection, hearing protection, safety boots or shoes, chemical suit, respirators and gloves as needed by work location and vehicle operation.
- NEVER attempt jumps or other stunts with the vehicle. This vehicle is an ADULT VEHICLE ONLY. NEVER operate this vehicle if you are under age 16 and NEVER operate without a valid drivers license. No person under the age of 12 may ride as a passenger in this vehicle. Any passenger must be able to comfortably reach the floor and hand holds. Never permit a guest to operate this vehicle unless the guest has read this manual and all safety signs (decals). Always inspect the vehicle before each use to make sure it is in safe operating condition.
- Always follow the inspection procedures described in this manual. The Bobcat utility vehicle has an internal combustion engine with resultant heat and exhaust. All exhaust gases can kill or cause illness so use the utility vehicle with adequate ventilation.
