Adjusting the Cargo-Bed
Latches

bed vibrates up and down as you drive the machine.
You can adjust the latch posts to make the latches
hold the cargo bed snugly to the chassis.

Cleaning
Washing the Machine
Wash the machine as needed. Use water alone or
with a mild detergent. You can use a rag.

system, loosen important decals, or wash away
necessary grease at friction points. Avoid
excessive use of water, especially near the control
panel, engine, and battery.
