3.
Do not operate vehicle with cargo box in raised
position.
4.
Do not operate vehicle with cargo box latch
unlatched. Always re-latch upon manually lowering
cargo box.
5.
When using optional electric lift:
•
Stay in driver’s seat.
•
Keep body parts away from cargo box and keep all
bystanders away.
•
Do not allow rear wheels to hang over the edge of a
drop-off when raising cargo box. Cargo box weight
may shift over center and cause vehicle to tip over
backwards.
Towing
•
Always use an approved hitch and hitch point
provided on the utility vehicle.
•
Do not tow more than 900 lb. (454 kg) rolling weight
(i.e. trailer plus cargo).
•
Never load more than 100 lb. (45.5 kg) tongue
weight on tow bracket provided.
•
Go slow and use extra care when towing a trailer.
Allow for increased braking distance. Load trailer
properly.
•
Do not tow heavy loads on slopes greater than 5°
incline. When going downhill or turning, the extra
weight tends to push the tow vehicle and may
cause you to loose control (i.e. braking and steering
ability are reduced, towed equipment may jack-
knife and cause utility vehicle to overturn).
Service
Safe Handling Of Gasoline:
1.
To avoid personal injury or property damage use
extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.
Serious personal injury can occur when gasoline is
spilled on yourself or your clothes which can ignite.
Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.
a. Use only an approved gasoline container.
b. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a
truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always
place containers on the ground away from
your vehicle before filling.
c.
When practical, remove gas-powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel
it on the ground. If this is not possible, then
refuel such equipment on a trailer with a
portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
d. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the
fuel tank or container opening at all times
until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle
lock-open device.
e. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and
other sources of ignition.
f.
Never fuel machine indoors.
g. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the
engine is hot or running. Allow engine to cool
at least two minutes before refueling.
h. Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more
than ½ inch below bottom of filler neck to
allow space for fuel expansion.
i.
Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
j.
If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine
and equipment. Move unit to another area.
Wait 5 minutes before starting the engine.
k.
To reduce fire hazards, keep machine free of
grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean
up oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel
soaked debris.
l.
Never store the machine or fuel container
inside where there is an open flame, spark or
pilot light as on a water heater, space heater,
furnace, clothes dryer or other gas
appliances.
