PROP ROD
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 3.
The Carryall 272 is equipped with an automatically engaging prop rod and prop rod track on the driver side of
the rear body (Figure 14, Page 15). When pulling the bed latch handle and lifting the bed, the prop rod will
come to rest in one of the notches in the prop rod track.
To lower the bed, lift the bed so that the prop rod is no longer supported in one of the track notches. Push the
prop rod toward the front of the vehicle to free it from the track notch and gently lower the bed. Once the bed
is halfway down, remove hand from prop rod and continue lowering the bed gently until the bed latch
engages. DO NOT drop the bed.

The vehicle arrives from the factory with the front coil-over shocks pre-adjusted for optimum vehicle performance.
