USING THE TRUCK
Attach the tongue of the truck to the hitch of a tow vehicle. Center and evenly distribute loads on the
truck surface. Immobilize loads on, and strap loads to, the truck to prevent them from moving while the
truck is in motion. Do not attempt to transport unstable, top-heavy, very tall or very long items with the
truck. Start and stop slowly and gradually. Apply brakes carefully. Drive slowly through all turns. Only
drive on even, level, improved surfaces.
