When choosing a location
for the Control Panel, do not
position the Panel in line with
the Driver’s or Passenger’s seat
to ensure the Control Panel is
not hit accidentally.
1D. Body Safety Chain Installation
For UTV applications: A Dump
Body Safety Chain must be
attached to secure the Dump
Body and prevent the accidental
release of the Dump Body.
Install Eyebolts to Vehicle Frame and Dump Body of
the Utility Vehicle. Using a 32" Chain and a One Link
Connector, attach Chain to the Eyebolts mounted to
the Frame and Dump Body. Safety Chains are to be
used in conjunction with the Hold Down Assemblies.
Attaching a Chain will prevent an accidental release
of the Dump Body. The Chain/Eyebolt setup is not
required for Pickup truck applications.
