PLASTIC LOADBED
The manual lift bed is the standard bed for the vehicle.
The bed may be equipped with an optional electric lift
switch.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in
personal injury, damage the vehicle and/or
cause the vehicle to tip over. Operate the vehi-
cle with awareness of the load. Read, under-
stand and follow the Danger label affixed to the
front of the loadbed.
Do not permit anyone to ride in the bed.
Before operating, check to ensure no one is
behind the vehicle.
A loadbed warning label is affixed to the inside front of
the bed (see Appendix A). This label must be understood
and observed at all times for safe operation of the vehi-
cle. See the loadbed warning label for maximum load.
The load must be positioned in the bed as far forward as
possible, distributed in such a way that its center of grav-
ity must not be higher than height noted on label, and
securely fastened down. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions may result in severe personal injury, damage the
vehicle and/or cause the vehicle to tip over. Operate the
vehicle with awareness of the load.
Do not permit anyone to ride in the bed.
Do not drive the vehicle with the loadbed raised or with
the tailgate unsupported.
When using the electric lift, be sure to avoid backing up
to the edge of a drop off, such as a loading dock or
ravine. A misjudgment of distance or an unstable surface
could result in the vehicle falling backwards.
