WARNING!
Carefully follow these warnings to help
protect against personal injury:
Do not drive your vehicle on-road with the
windshield down.
Do not drive your vehicle unless the
windshield is securely fastened, either up
or down.
Eye protection, such as goggles, should be
worn at all times when the windshield is
down.
Be sure that you carefully follow the
instructions for raising the windshield.
Make sure that the folding windshield,
windshield wipers, side bars, and all
associated hardware and fasteners are
correctly and tightly assembled before
driving your vehicle. Failure to follow these
instructions may prevent your vehicle from
providing you and your passengers’

If you remove the doors, store them outside
the vehicle. In the event of an accident, a
loose door may cause personal injury.
