Operating While Carrying a Load
Reduce your speed when carrying
cargo and turn gradually. Avoid hills
and rough terrain. Allow more distance
for braking. This vehicle may require
additional stopping distance if carrying
heavy loads, especially on inclined sur-
faces.
Tilting the Cargo Box
The cargo box can be tilted to ease un-
loading. Use release handles on either
side of cargo box.
