Seat Belts
Gondos equipped with a ROPS (Roll Over Protection
System) are also equipped with seat belts.
Seat Belts with ROPS reduce the risk of injury from
rollovers, collisions and being thrown from the vehicle. It is
the responsibility of the operator and passenger to decide
if their situation warrants using seat belts.

capabilities of the Gondo before putting the vehicle into
service. Be certain to practice steering going forward
and backing up as it has a different feel than normal
front wheel steered vehicles.
