Breaking in a New Machine
Service Interval: After the first 100 hours—Perform
the breaking in a new machine
guidelines.
Perform the breaking in a new machine guidelines
to provide proper performance and long life for the
machine.
•
Check the brake fluid.
•
Avoid hard braking situations for the first several
hours of new machine break-in operation. New
brake linings may not be at optimum performance
until several hours of use has caused the brakes
to become burnished (broken-in).
•
Refer to
Maintenance (page 30)
low hour checks.
•
Check the front suspension positioning and adjust
it, if necessary; refer to
Alignment (page
42).
•
For optimal battery performance and battery life,
perform the following battery break-in process:
1.
Charge the batteries to 100% when you
receive your machine.
2.
Run the machine until the display shows the
low-battery advisory (approximately 5%),
then fully charge the batteries to 100%.
Repeat this step 4 times to optimize battery
performance.

General Safety
•
The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible
for accidents that may cause personal injury or
property damage.
•
Passengers should sit in the designated seating
positions only. Do not carry passengers in the
cargo bed. Keep bystanders and pets away from
the machine during operation.
•
Wear appropriate clothing, including eye
protection; long pants; substantial, and
slip-resistant footwear. Tie back long hair and do
not wear loose clothing or loose jewelry.
•
Use your full attention while operating the
machine. Do not engage in any activity that
causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property
damage may occur.
•
Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
•
Do not exceed the maximum gross vehicle weight
(GVW) of the machine.
•
Use extra caution when operating, braking, or
turning the machine with a heavy load in the cargo
bed.
•
Carrying oversized loads in the cargo bed reduces
the stability of the machine. Do not exceed the
carrying capacity of the bed.
•
Carrying material that cannot be bound to the
machine adversely affects the steering, braking,
and stability of the machine. When you carry
material that cannot be bound to the machine, use
caution when steering or braking.
•
Carry a reduced load and reduce the ground
speed of the machine when operating on rough,
uneven terrain, and near curbs, holes, and other
sudden changes in terrain. Loads may shift,
causing the machine to become unstable.
•
Before you start the machine, ensure that the
transmission is in neutral, the parking brake is
engaged, and you are in the operating position.
•
You and your passengers should remain seated
whenever the machine is moving. Keep your
hands on the steering wheel; your passengers
should use the handholds provided. Keep arms
and legs within the machine body at all times.
•
Operate the machine only in good visibility.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the
machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles. Use care
