Safety Considerations - Yamaha YTF2 Benutzer-/Betriebsanleitung

Like all machines, utility vehicles can
cause injury if improperly used or
maintained. This section contains
broad safety practices required for
safe operation. Before vehicles are
operated, personnel should establish
any additional safety practices that
may be required for safe operation.
Experience has shown that utility
vehicles are safe when operated in
accordance with the safety warnings
affixed to every utility vehicle. This
safe operation is enhanced when
utility vehicles are used according to
the safety rules and practices estab-
lished to meet the terrain and condi-
tions of the course they are used on.
The information contained here is
intended for authorized personnel
responsible for utility vehicle safety.
If you are responsible for the opera-
tion and maintenance of this utility
vehicle, we encourage you to imple-
ment a safety program.

ate utility vehicles. It is recommend-

rope off these potentially
hazardous areas or identify them
with a suitable warning describing
the nature of the hazard and the
proper precautions to be taken to
avoid the hazard.
