Improper use, maintenance, or modification of this vehicle can lead to serious injury or death.
Require proper use of
your vehicle. Do not allow anyone to operate your vehicle or ride as a passenger unless they are properly
instructed and you are sure they are willing to ride responsibly. To prevent
unauthorized use, always remove the ignition key when the vehicle is not in
use.
Any modifications or installation of non-EGIMOTORS-approved accessories could increase the risk of
injury. While you may find aftermarket products similar in
design and quality to EGIMOTORS accessories, recognize that some aftermarket accessories or modifications are not suitable
because of potential safety hazards to you or others.
It is never appropriate to install any additional
seating.
Check with the manufacturer to determine any potential effect of a modification or accessory on the safe use of your vehicle. You are responsible for injuries related to modifications to the vehicle. Modifications or accessories may:
•
Damage machine components - especially modifications that increase speed or
power.
•
Make the vehicle
less stable at higher speeds.
•
Add
weight, reducing the amount of cargo and total weight
you can carry, and raise the
vehicle’s center of gravity.
•
Overload the vehicle’s electrical system capacity. Blowing
a fuse may cause a loss of lights or engine power.
•
Reduce the effectiveness of occupant protection systems, including the seatbelts and the Rollover Protective
Structure (ROPS).
•
Make it illegal to own or operate your vehicle.
EGIMOTORS-authorized spark arresters, mufflers, and emissions control
components are mandatory for ownership or operation in many areas.
•
Void your warranty.
The vehicle ROPS, when used with the seat belts and doors,
provides a structure to help protect occupants. The structure will not protect
occupants in all rollovers or accidents.
For more information about safety, contact an authorized dealer or visit the EGIMOTORS website at www.egimotors.it
Make sure operators
are 18 or older with a valid driver’s license. Just
because a teenager has a license does not mean that they will make good
judgments about driving and avoid risk taking.
EGIMOTORS recommends that you supervise
younger drivers. Set rules
and put limits on how, when, and where they are allowed to use this vehicle.
For example, young drivers may need to have an adult in the vehicle
with them and not
be allowed to drive with their friends in the vehicle.
Make sure all riders
fit the vehicle.
Be sure that the driver and all passengers
are able to:
•
sit with their backs against
their seat,
•
adjust the seat belt to fit properly,
•
have both feet flat on the floor,
and
•
have both hands on the steering wheel or on a passenger
hand hold.
Do
not allow children
who need child safety seats or booster
seats to ride in the vehicle. The
vehicle is not designed to restrain automotive child safety seats.
You are responsible for your passengers. Be sure passengers are seated properly,
belted, holding the passenger hand hold, and ready to brace.
Unrestrained riders can fall out or be thrown around and from a moving vehicle.
Every person must be properly seated and belted in their own seat. Two people should never be belted into a single seat belt. People belted together can crash into one another in a collision and be seriously injured. Never carry passengers in the cargo bed as they could be thrown against or out of the vehicle or come into contact with moving parts.
Do not let people drive or ride after using alcohol or drugs.
Before starting off, always perform the Pre-Ride Inspection. Failure to inspect and verify that the vehicle
is in safe operating condition increases the risk of an accident, which
can lead to serious injury or death.

Improper tire maintenance can lead to loss of control and an accident, which could result in serious injury or death. To reduce your risk of injury:
•
Maintain EGIMOTORS recommended tire
pressure. Check pressure before operating. Even if your vehicle
has only been driven a short distance, the tire pressure
readings can become higher.
•
Make sure tire pressures match the specifications listed in the table below.
•
Only use the size and type of tires specified for this vehicle.
•
Do not operate
your vehicle with worn or damaged tires.
•
Always follow your tire manufacturer’s instructions for maintenance.

Wear an approved helmet. Riding in this vehicle without wearing an approved helmet increases the risk of serious injury. For example, a helmet reduces your risk of injury from head strikes with the vehicle or other objects even if there is no crash.
Approved helmets in in
Europe bear the ECE 22.05 (or newer)
label. The ECE mark consists
of a circle surrounding the
letter E, followed by the distinguishing number of the country which has
granted approval. The approval number
and serial number will also
be displayed on the label.
Use shatterproof goggles or a shatterproof helmet face shield.
Such protective eyewear may reduce the risk of foreign material
getting in your eyes
and help prevent loss of vision.
EGIMOTORS recommends wearing approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that
have markings indicating they are designed to standards CE.
Additional protective clothing
and gear that may be appropriate for your riding
conditions includes:
•
Always wear shoes when operating. Consider
wearing sturdy over-the-ankle boots suitable for the
terrain you will be riding in.
•
Full-finger gloves can protect
against wind, sun, cold, and objects. Choose gloves that fit snugly
and allow fingers
to move freely and grip on the steering
wheel or hand holds.
•
Consider long sleeves
and long pants to help protect arms and legs.
•
Long-term exposure to wind and engine
noise can cause permanent hearing loss. Properly worn hearing
protective devices such as earplugs can help prevent hearing loss. Check local laws or the rules of the riding
area you are in before wearing hearing protection
to make sure its use is permitted.
Always stay completely inside the vehicle and hold the steering wheel or hand holds. Body parts outside of the vehicle
can be struck by passing
objects or crushed during a rollover. Do not put any part of your body
outside of the vehicle for any reason. Do not hold onto the ROPS frame
or put any part of your
body on the door.
Riding in this vehicle without closed and latched cab doors increases the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident or rollover. Always make sure all cab doors are closed and latched while riding in this vehicle.
Be sure riders
pay attention and plan ahead.
If you think or feel the vehicle may tip or roll, reduce your risk
of injury:
•
Keep a firm grip on the steering
wheel or hand holds and brace yourself.
•
Do not put any part of your body outside
of the vehicle for any reason.
This vehicle is not designed
to carry unrestrained pets. An unrestrained pet can be thrown about and injure riders, even during normal
operation. When transporting pets, use a pet crate suitable
for off-road use that is secured to the
vehicle.
Fuels such as gasoline can be extremely flammable. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, never carry fuel or other flammable liquids on this vehicle. Rollovers, crashes, rough riding, or changes in elevation or temperature may lead to fuel spilling or vapor release from portable containers. Hot vehicle parts can cause fires, even after the engine has been turned off.
Never exceed vehicle weight capacities. The vehicle’s maximum weight capacity varies depending on model. The cargo box can support up to 272 kg of that total. When more rider weight is added, cargo weight may need to be eliminated to stay under the limit. Overloading the vehicle or carrying cargo improperly will cause changes in stability and handling, which could cause loss of control or an accident.
Secure cargo in the cargo box as far forward, centered and as
low as possible. When cargo
cannot be positioned and secured in this way, operate
with extra caution. Unsecured cargo
can strike and injure riders,
affect vehicle handling, and
result in loss of control.
The weight of riders and cargo changes vehicle braking,
handling, and stability. To avoid loss of control, turn gradually, operate
at slower speeds,
and avoid rougher or steeper terrain.
Drive Responsibly. This vehicle has higher ground clearance and other features to handle rugged terrain. It can be overturned in situations where some other vehicles may not. Abrupt maneuvers or aggressive driving, even on flat, open areas, can cause loss of control, rollovers, severe injury or death. To avoid loss of control and rollovers:
•
Avoid abrupt maneuvers, sideways
sliding, skidding, or fishtailing, and never
do donuts.
•
Slow down before
entering turn.
•
Avoid hard acceleration when turning, even from a stop.
High speed off-road
operation
Driving off-road vehicles to test the limits of your skills or abilities can be very dangerous to you, passengers, and bystanders. Basic skills for driving a car, ATV, or other off-road vehicles do not equip drivers to safely attempt high speed off-road operation. Develop your skill gradually through training, practice, and experience with the various driving modes of this vehicle and the terrain in which you are operating. Always do a low speed reconnaissance run (pre-run) to become aware of anything you may encounter.
High speed off-road operation can lead to loss of control, crashes, or hard landings that can seriously injure occupants (even without rolling the vehicle or damaging it).
If you plan on using the vehicle for high speed, off-road competition, additional safety equipment may be necessary. Check the rules that apply to your competition.
Do
not go over jumps — going airborne
can lead to serious injury or death. Going
airborne can cause loss of control, rollovers, or crashing into the ground and
may damage the vehicle. Even without crashing, landings can be hard enough to
cause any vehicle suspension to fully compress (e.g., bottom out).
Serious injuries, including spinal injuries, can occur even if riders are properly harnessed, wearing helmets and the vehicle is not damaged and remains upright.
You may encounter slopes, "jumps", or other terrain features that could send the vehicle airborne, depending on your speed. These may be defectively designed, poorly maintained, or not suitable for this vehicle. Slow down, use extra care, and avoid going airborne. Never take this vehicle over jumps.
Watching someone else go over a jump or go airborne does not mean you can safely do so. EGIMOTORS cannot determine whether any jump you may encounter is appropriate for this vehicle. Any jump, even a small one, could be poorly maintained, designed, or not suitable for this vehicle and may cause serious injury or death.
Plan for hills, rough terrain, ruts, and other changes in traction and terrain. Proceed slowly and with extra care on unfamiliar terrain. Avoid paved surfaces. Sudden changes in terrain such as holes, depressions, banks, softer or harder ground, or other irregularities may cause loss of control or rollover. Give yourself time to react to rocks, bumps, or holes that may be hard to see. Operating in deep snow or tall grass may make it harder to see obstacles.
If you cannot go around an obstacle, such as a fallen tree or a ditch, stop the vehicle in a safe place. Get out to inspect the area thoroughly. Look from both your approach side and exit side. If you are reasonably confident you can continue safely, choose the path that will allow you to go straight over the obstacle to minimize the vehicle tipping sideways. Go only fast enough to maintain your momentum, but still give yourself plenty of time to react to changes in conditions. If there is any question about your ability to maneuver safely over the obstacle, you should turn around if the ground is flat and you have the room, or back up until you find a less difficult path.
Abrupt application of the accelerator pedal can cause the tires to lose traction, reducing control of the vehicle and increasing the possibility of an accident, especially while on sloped terrain or while crossing obstacles such as rocks or logs.
This Tractor is approved for on-road use, limited to local road and NOT HIGHWAYS.
Improperly operating on hills can
cause loss of control, rollover, or accident, which can
lead to serious injury or death. Use extra care when operating on hills. Plan for rough terrain, ruts, and other
changes in traction
and terrain.
Driving up hills
Check the terrain before ascending a hill and make sure it is not too slippery or loose. Engage all-wheel drive for hills. Drive straight uphill, keeping speed and throttle steady. Avoid steep hills which can cause the vehicle to overturn.
Recovering from stalling on a hill
If the vehicle loses forward speed, apply the brakes gradually and stop. Do not attempt to turn the vehicle around. Instead, shift to reverse and allow the vehicle to slowly roll straight downhill. Apply light brake pressure to control speed.
Overtopping a hill
Slow down when you reach the crest of a hill. Never blindly go over the crest of a hill or a drop off at high speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or another vehicle or person could be on the other side of the hill.
Driving down hills
Check the terrain before descending a hill and make sure it is not too slippery or loose. Engage all-wheel drive and proceed slowly, applying the brakes lightly.
Never descend a hill with the transmission in neutral or if the engine is turned off.
Avoid side hilling (riding across slopes)
If unavoidable, proceed slowly and with extra caution. Avoid obstacles and changes in terrain that could cause the vehicle to tip or slide. If it feels like the vehicle begins to tip or slide, immediately turn downhill.
Riding near wooded areas or brush
Use extra caution when operating near trees, particularly when operating on narrow trails. Tree branches or brush can be driven into the cab striking or stabbing occupants.
Riding in snow
Always keep the brake and accelerator pedals free of snow and ice. Apply the brakes frequently to prevent ice or snow accumulation on the brake pads which can reduce brake performance.
Riding on ice
Never operate the vehicle on a frozen body of water unless you have verified that the ice can support the weight of the vehicle. Severe injury or death can result if the vehicle falls through the ice.
Riding in water / Falling into water
Operating through deep or fast-flowing water can cause loss of traction, loss of control, overturning, or being swept away in water. You can be seriously injured or killed from entrapment and drowning. Never operate the vehicle in
fast-flowing water or in water that exceeds the floor level of the vehicle. For Waterfowl models, do not exceed the seat base level. Avoid sharp drop-offs and large rocks. Choose a path that provides an entrance and exit point with gradual inclines. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. After leaving water, test the brakes. Apply them lightly several times while driving slowly. The friction will help dry out the pads.
Riding on sand dunes
Use extra caution when operating on or near dunes. Be alert for changes in terrain. Never blindly go over the crest of a hill or a drop-off at high speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or another vehicle or a person could be on the other side of the hill.
Riding in low-visibility conditions
Use extra caution and drive slowly in conditions of reduced visibility such as fog, rain, and darkness.
Plan ahead to avoid the need for evasive maneuvers, such as
swerving. Hitting an obstacle — including wildlife — you are not
ready for can be dangerous. Choosing to swerve instead
can be even more dangerous because it can lead to loss of control, rollover, or
collisions.
When operating in areas with possibility of wildlife appearing in your path, plan ahead to avoid swerving for animals if doing so could result in collisions or rollovers. Go slowly or avoid driving during seasons or times of day when animals such as deer are more likely to cross your path without warning.
Avoid Collisions With Other Vehicles
When following another vehicle or operating in the same area as others, keep a safe distance to avoid collisions. Allow extra space when sight distances are limited by dust, snow, curves, hills, or other conditions. Plan ahead to avoid having to swerve or leave the trail to avoid a collision.
On trails, be prepared to make space for other vehicles to pass. If you need to stop on a trail, move your vehicle to the edge of the path to allow others to pass safely.
Correct a skid by turning the steering wheel in the direction of the skid.
Never apply the brakes during a skid.
If the vehicle begins to slide downhill or you feel it may tip, turn downhill immediately and stop. Maneuver slowly and carefully until you can drive straight downhill.
Do not continue driving if your vehicle may be damaged or if you were in a crash or rollover.
Operating the vehicle while damaged or after a crash or rollover can cause loss of control, rollover, or accident, which can lead to serious injury or death. If you cannot safely transport the vehicle on your own, contact a recovery and towing service.
After any crash, rollover, or other accident, have a EGIMOTORS dealer inspect the vehicle for possible damage, including seat belts, ROPS, brakes, suspension, and steering systems.
Be prepared in case your vehicle becomes damaged or disabled, especially in remote areas. Consider in advance how to get help and stay safe until it arrives whenever you ride.
There is a recovery tow loop ① at the front and back ②of the vehicle to attach a winch or strap.
Use these loops to recover this vehicle if it is stuck, to pull it onto a tow truck, trailer, or to use this vehicle to recover another vehicle. These loops are for emergency recovery only and are not for towing vehicles to another location.
Improper recovery may lead to loss of control or vehicle damage. Only attach straps to specified locations. Do not attach to any other point on the vehicle. Only recover a vehicle of equal or lesser size and weight. When recovering a disabled vehicle, place the disabled vehicle’s transmission in neutral. Do not move a disabled vehicle faster than 10 mph (16 km/h).
Operating, Idling, Or Parking Near Combustible Materials
Engine, exhaust, and other vehicle components can be very hot during and after use. Do not idle or park the vehicle over anything that could contact the exhaust system and catch on fire, such as tall grass, weeds, brush, leaves, debris, or other tall ground cover. Do not let mud, grass, or other debris accumulate on the engine or exhaust system. Inspect and remove as needed.
Vehicle rollaway can cause serious injury or death. Even when stationary, the vehicle may move whenever the gear selector is not in the PARK (P) position or when the brakes are not applied. Always shift to PARK (P) when turning off the engine or leaving the vehicle. Use extra care, when leaving the vehicle on an incline is unavoidable. If leaving the vehicle unattended on a hill, block the rear wheels on the downhill side and keep children, pets and others away from the gear selector.
Before shifting into reverse, use extra care to make sure the area is clear
of people or obstacles. When it’s safe to proceed, back
slowly.
After operation, inspect the vehicle for damage and debris to make sure the vehicle can be safely stored and operated again.
Some things to inspect include:
•
Debris that could catch fire, such as mud/grass near the engine
or exhaust system
•
Damage to the suspension, steering, or any other part of the vehicle
• Tire condition, such as tread and sidewall
damage
• Shock absorber
assembly condition
Be sure to have any issues checked and problems fixed before operating again.
All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion, and eventually death. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas which may be present even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly, and you can quickly be overcome and unable to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon monoxide can linger for hours or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area immediately, get fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.
•
Do
not run engine indoors. Even if you try to ventilate engine
exhaust with fans or open
windows and doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.
•
Do not run engine in poorly
ventilated or partially enclosed areas such as barns, garages, or carports.
If you start a vehicle in one of these, drive it out and close
the door as soon as possible. If you drive
it into one of these,
turn it off as soon as
possible.
•
Do
not run engine outdoors where engine exhaust
can be drawn into a building through openings such as
windows and doors.
