Loading Cargo
•
Use only Taylor-Dunn approved rear cargo
accessories.
•
Do not exceed the load capacity of the vehicle.
•
All cargo should only be transported in the
designated cargo area of the vehicle and evenly
distributed with the center of gravity close to the
center of the cargo area.
•
Do not load cargo in the passenger compartments.
•
All cargo should be secured to prevent falling from the vehicle or shifting position while the
vehicle is in motion.
•
Do not transport cargo that is wider than the vehicle.
• Cargo consisting of fluid in tanks should have fluid baffles in the tank to help reduce shifting
load weight.
If vehicle is equipped with cab option:
•
The cab is not designed to carry any cargo. Do not mount roof racks or cargo carriers to the
roof of the cab.
Transporting Pets
Pets should only be transported in a pet carrier that is securely tied down on the rear cargo deck.
Collisions or Accidents
A collision or accident may damage the electrical circuits or batteries resulting in a fire hazard
or chemical spill. In the event of a collision or accident, immediately turn the Start switch OFF,
set the park brake, then exit the vehicle.
Call emergency personnel if there is any indication of smoke, burning smell, electrical arcing,
or leaking fluid.
Tip Over
In the event of a tip over AND the vehicle is equipped with
OPS, stay inside the confines of the
vehicle. Exit the vehicle after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
In the event of a tip over and the vehicle IS NOT equipped with OPS. Quickly exit the vehicle
and quickly move out of its path.
DO NOT transport or load cargo in the front passenger area or leave loose items on the
front floorboard. Cargo placed in the front passenger area may interfere with the driver
causing loss of control of the vehicle and result in a collision or accident with severe injury.
WARNING
DO NOT transport passengers in
the cargo area. All passengers must
be seated in the available seats, one
passenger per seating position.
WARNING
NOTICE
When vehicle is in operation carrying a full load, the bump-stops will be against the
frame. This will not cause damage to the vehicle as this is an active part of the vehicle
suspension system.
