Doing things with a Viking that some people
do for thrills in other vehicles (such as side-
ways sliding, skidding, back-wheel sliding, or
donuts) have led to side rollovers. These roll-
overs can result in crushed limbs and other
serious injuries or death to drivers or passen-
gers.
As the owner/operator, it is your responsibility
to protect yourself and your passengers from
accidents, including rollovers. The Viking has
many features, including a protective struc-
ture and seat belts, to help protect occupants,
but the best way to avoid injuries is to avoid
accidents. There is a risk of injury or death in
any accident, even with these safety features.1XP7B_EE.book Page 2 Tuesday, February 4, 2014 3:40 PM

Passenger requirements
This vehicle is designed for the operator and
two passengers. Allowing passengers to ride
improperly can lead to serious injury or death.
As the operator, you are responsible for your
passengers.●
Your passengers must be able to place
both feet on the floorboard while seated up-
right with their backs against the backrests.
●
Your passengers must be able to reach
and hold the passenger handhold.
●
Allow only two passengers in the vehicle
and only in the designated passenger
seats. Do not carry any other passengers.
Do not carry passengers in the cargo bed.
●
Do not allow someone to ride as a passen-
ger who has been using drugs or alcohol.
●
Do not allow children who need child safety
seats or booster seats in the Viking. The
seat belt is not designed to restrain auto-
motive child safety seats. Occupant protection system
WARNING
Do not make changes to the occupant pro-
tection system. If you install aftermarket
products or have your vehicle modified,
you may put yourself and others at greater
risk of serious injury or death. You are re-
sponsible for any such changes to the ve-
hicle.1. Seat belt

1. Door2. Shoulder bolster
3. Passenger handholdThe Viking comes with a variety of features to
help reduce the risk of driver and passenger
injury. These features work together, and
when properly used, these features will help
protect the occupants in the event of an acci-
dent. If these features are not used properly,
they can cause injury. Protective structure
The vehicle cage/frame provides a protective
structure that helps limit intrusions by branch-
es or other objects and may reduce your risk
of injury in accidents. The protective structure
will not protect occupants in all rollovers or ac-
cidents.
Body parts outside of vehicle can be struck by
passing objects or crushed during vehicle roll-
over. Do not put your hands or feet outside of
the vehicle for any reason. Do not hold onto
the door, cage/frame or shoulder bolster.
Wear your seat belt and helmet.
If you think or feel that the vehicle may tip or
roll, do not put your hands or feet outside the
vehicle for any reason. You will not be able to
stop the vehicle from tipping over using your
body. Any part of your body (arms, legs, or
head) outside of the vehicle can be crushed
by the vehicle cage/frame.

Seat belts
Seat belts should be worn by the driver and
passengers. The driver must be sure that the
passengers are belted before driving.●
Be sure that each occupant’s seat belt
latch plate is inserted into the appropriate
buckle.
●
Be sure the seat belt is not twisted, is
close-fitting across the hips and chest,
and is latched securely.
●
Do not wear the seat belt across the ab-
domen or stomach.
●
Do not put the seat belt behind the back.
Failure to use seat belts properly may lead to
an increased likelihood and severity of injury. An unbelted occupant may strike the interior
of the vehicle, the protective structure, or oth-
er objects in an accident or during operation.
You may also fall completely out or be partial-
ly ejected from the vehicle, which may lead to
being crushed between the ground and the
vehicle. Wearing the seat belt helps you re-
main in the vehicle – the doors and passenger
handhold are not a substitute for using a seat
belt.
A crash can damage the restraint systems in
your vehicle. A damaged restraint system
may not properly protect the person using it,
resulting in serious injury or death in a crash.
To help make sure your restraint systems are
working properly after a crash, have them in-
spected and any necessary replacements
made as soon as possible.
