Owner’s Manual and Service Guide
Read all of manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
VEHICLE CAPACITY
Due to the variety of ways
the vehicle may be used, it is
important that the operator
consider any potential hazards before use to prevent
serious injury or death.
The vehicle may be used to transport a maximum of
two people within the operator/passenger compart-
ment and cargo in the load bed. Never carry passen-
gers in the load bed. The total payload is 800 lbs. (363
kg). The weight of the driver and passenger plus any
options or accessories must be deducted from the total
payload rating to determine the load bed capacity.
Remember that towing a trailer will reduce the payload of
the vehicle itself.
Remember that volume of your load can be misleading.
Loading the vehicle to its rated capacity with dry sand,
fertilizer, sod, etc. can be handled with complete safety.
The same load when wet will grossly overload the vehi-
cle and increase the potential for roll over and damage to
the vehicle.
MODIFICATIONS TO VEHICLE
Changes to the weight distri-
bution or the center of gravi-
ty may make it unstable or
prone to roll over which could result in injury or death
to the operator or passenger.
Do not modify the vehicle in any manner that will change
the weight distribution of the vehicle. Changes to the
weight distribution or the center of gravity may make it
unstable or prone to roll over which could result in injury
or death to the operator or passenger.
LOAD BED
Be careful when loading the vehicle. Tie down loads to
prevent shifting. Do not overload vehicle. A load bed
warning label is affixed to the inside of the bed on the
front panel (Ref Fig. 3 on page 2). This label must be
understood and observed at all times for safe operation
of the vehicle. The bed is limited to a maximum load of
500 lbs (228 kg). The load must be positioned in the bed
as far forward as possible, its center of gravity must not
be higher than 5" (12 cm) above the bed floor, and
securely fastened down. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions could cause personal injury, damage to the vehicle
and/or cause the vehicle to tip over. Operate the vehicle
with awareness of the load.
Do not drive the vehicle with the load bed raised or with
the tailgate unsupported.
When using the electric lift, be sure to avoid backing up
to the edge of a drop off, such as a loading dock or
ravine. A misjudgment of distance or an unstable surface
could result in the vehicle falling backwards.
Always insure that no one is behind or close to the load
bed while the electric lift mechanism is being operated.
Passengers should never be
allowed to ride in the load
bed. Severe injury or death
could result if they should fall out or the vehicle is
involved in an accident or sudden maneuver.
TOP AND WINDSHIELD (IF EQUIPPED)
The top does not provide
protection from roll over or
falling objects.
The windshield does not provide protection from tree
limbs or flying objects.
The top and windshield provide some protection from the
elements; however, they will not keep the operator and
passenger dry in a downpour. For complete protection
from the elements, a cab can be installed. This vehicle is
not equipped with seat belts and has not been designed
to provide roll over protection.
Clean windshield with lots of water and a clean cloth.
Minor scratches may be removed using a commercial
plastic polish or Plexus plastic cleaner available from the
service parts department.
COMMON SENSE OPERATION
This vehicle is not a toy. If not operated properly and
responsibly, it can cause severe injury or death to the
operator, passenger or bystanders. All operators should
possess a valid driver’s license. Children should not be
permitted to operate the vehicle. Children may not have
the skill, judgement or strength to operate this or similar
vehicles.
Alcohol, drugs and many over the counter medications
reduce the ability of the driver to operate the vehicle
safely. Always review side effects of any medication with
a doctor or pharmacist before operating vehicle.
