Wear seatbelt (apart from on-water operations when seatbelts should not be worn).
Never exceed the maximum number of passengers. The maximum number of passengers is the same as the number of seatbelts fitted.
Always wear a helmet & protective glasses/goggles (and always wear life-jacket/buoyancy aid for on-water operations).
Do not exceed the vehicle Maximum Load: 300kg (including passengers). Spread loads evenly. Tie loads down.
Do not exceed the vehicle Maximum Towing Weight: 250kg or Maximum Load on Tow Bar: 90kg.
Before any on-water operations, ensure the drain plug is securely in place and the bilge pump is operating. Always have the bilge pump running while on water.
Before any on-water operations, ensure all passengers can easily exit the vehicle in an emergency (if canopy is fitted, ensure canopy is open).
Ensure drain plug is removed during storage to ensure any water can drain away and rainwater cannot build up within the vehicle.
Ensure vehicle battery is isolated & neutral gear when vehicle is stored/parked.
Do not exceed the recommended limits shown below.
WARNING! The limits shown below are only recommendations in ideal situations. The actual safe limits will always depend on the particular ground & vehicle conditions.
OVERCOMING WATER OBSTACLES
The TINGER TRACK is not a boat but is able to move over quiet water while maintaining buoyancy. To overcome water obstacles safely and effectively, follow the instructions below:
BEFORE ENTERING WATER:
Ensure the drain plug is securely in place and the bilge pump is operating. Always have the bilge pump running while on water.
Ensure all passengers can easily exit the vehicle in an emergency (if canopy is fitted, ensure canopy is open). Seatbelts should NOT be worn during on-water operations.
All passengers should always wear life-jackets/buoyancy aids.
Always provide a bucket and oar/s in the vehicle.
Do not try to overcome large spaces of water. Stay close to shore so you can get out of the water quickly in case of danger.
Do not attempt to overcome water obstacles with currents or high winds.
It is recommended to always use outboard motor (up to 5hp) on a specially fitted transom for water operations.
ENTERING WATER:
Move into the water only on a flat descent smoothly and at the minimum speed.
DRIVING ON WATER:
If NOT using an outboard, use the the vehicle tracks with gentle acceleration and steering as on land to move the vehicle.
Be careful of underwater objects that could trigger the turning of the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle in water for a long time. Water can filter through glands of shaft and damage bearings.
EXITING WATER:
To exit the water, select a flat place free of obstacles. Direct the vehicle so that both sides exit the water at the same time.
Once safely out of water all passengers should wear seatbelts.
