MOVING LOADS AND DOING WORK
Loading the Cargo Box
NOTICE
When loading or unloading, do not exceed the maximum cargo ca-
pacity on tailgate. Always close tailgate before operating to reduce the risk of
loss of load.
WARNING
Load cargo as low as possible – a higher load can raise the vehicle’s center of
gravity, which can reduce stability. Position cargo toward the front and center of
the cargo box and as evenly distributed as possible.
Secure the load to the tie down hooks inside cargo box. Use only the tie down
hooks on the bottom of the cargo box; do not secure cargo to the cage or other
part of the vehicle. If it is not properly secured, a load may slide or fall off, pos-
sibly striking occupants or bystanders; or it may shift during riding, affecting the
handling of the vehicle.
Objects that are higher than the walls of the cargo bed may affect visibility for the
driver and may act as projectiles in case of an accident. Loads that protrude side-
ways can get snagged or caught in bush, branches or other obstacles. Avoid cov-
ering and obstructing the brake lights with the cargo. Ensure no cargo protrudes
outside the box and that cargo will not interfere with your visibility or control of the
vehicle.
Do not overload cargo box.
Close tailgate before operating.
WARNING
Never operate the vehicle with an open tailgate.

Operating While Carrying a Load

for braking. This vehicle may require
additional stopping distance if carrying
heavy loads, especially on inclined sur-
faces.
Tilting the Cargo Box
The cargo box can be tilted to ease un-
loading. Use release handles on either
