Read all of manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
ELECTRIC LIFT SWITCH
The optional electric lift switch is located on the seat
panel (Ref. Fig. 15 on page 7). See ’Electric Lift Bed
Operation' for operating information.
STEEL LOADBED
To reduce the possibility
of severe injury or death,
read, understand and fol-
low the Danger label affixed to the front of the
loadbed.
The manual lift bed is the standard bed for the vehicle.
The bed may be equipped with an optional electric lift
switch.
A loadbed warning label is affixed to the front of the bed.
See Appendix A. For safe operation of the vehicle, this
label must be understood. 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 gravity must not be higher than height
noted on label, and secured. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in severe injury, damage the vehi-
cle and/or cause the vehicle to tip over. Use extra care
when operating loaded vehicle.
Do not permit any one 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.
Before operating loadbed, check to ensure no one is
behind the vehicle.
Never fill a gas can in the
bed of a vehicle. Static
discharge could ignite
gasoline vapor and cause an explosion.
Always place a gas can on the ground before filling.
Never fill a gas can in the bed of the vehicle. Static elec-
tricity is built up during the fueling process and could dis-
charge causing the gasoline vapor to ignite.

operating the electric lift
bed to ensure clothing is
not snagged during lifting or lowering procedure.
