Hauling
Make sure you secure the vehicle and all items before you move a vehicle on a trailer.
Do not allow any people on a vehicle being
moved on a trailer.
Remove the windshield before you move a vehicle on a trailer.
Maximum speed with sun top installed is 50 mph (80 kph).
If you move the vehicle on a trailer at highway speeds, the sun top must be removed and the seat bottom secured.
When you move
the
vehicle on a trailer below highway speeds, check for tight hardware and cracks in sun top at the
mounting points.
The rated capacity of the trailer or truck must be more than the weight of the vehicle and load plus 1000 lbs. (454 kg).
See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for the weight of the vehicle.
Secure the vehicle to the trailer with ratchet tie downs.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Read all notices, cautions and warnings before any type of service operations.
The drive wheels must be lifted and supported on jack stands before you do any service to the
powertrain when
the engine is in operation.
To decrease the risk of engine damage, do not operate the vehicle at full throttle for more than 5
seconds with the drive wheels lifted off the ground.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal before you service the vehicle to prevent accidental
operation.
Wear eye protection when you service the vehicle. Be careful when you do
work around batteries, use solvents or compressed air.
To decrease the risk of electrical arc, which can cause a battery explosion, dis-
able all electrical loads from the battery before you remove the battery wires.
Use wrenches with insulation to decrease the risk of a wrench that falls on a battery to cause a
short-circuit. A battery short-circuit can cause an explosion.
The electrolyte in a battery is an acid solution which can cause burns to the skin and eyes. Com-
pletely clean all electrolyte spills that contact the body and eyes with clear water. Contact a physi-
cian immediately.
Neutralize electrolyte spills with a solution of 2 teaspoons (10 ml) sodium bicarbonate (baking
soda) mixed in 1 quart (1 liter) of water. Clean with water.
Be careful when you use the aerosol containers near battery terminals. Use a metal container that
has insulation to prevent an explosion.
