Owner’s Manual
TRUCK BED
Do not allow passengers to ride in truck bed. Severe injury or death could result if a passenger
should fall out, if vehicle is involved in an accident, or if vehicle makes a sudden maneuver.
Use caution when loading the vehicle. Secure loads to prevent shifting. Do not overload vehicle.
A bed warning label is affixed to the inside of the bed on the front panel. This label must be understood and observed at
all times for safe use of the bed.
The bed is limited to a maximum load of 500 lbs. Position load in the bed as far forward as possible. Its center of gravity
must not be higher than 12" (30 cm) above the bed floor, and it must be securely fastened down. Failure to follow these
instructions 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 truck bed raised or with the tailgate unsupported.
When using the optional electric dump, 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 ensure that no one is behind or close to the bed while the electric dump mechanism is being operated.
REAR FACING SEAT / LOAD DECK
Do not allow passengers to ride on load deck. Severe injury or death could result if a passenger
should fall out, if vehicle is involved in an accident, or if vehicle makes a sudden maneuver.
The rear facing seat will accommodate two passengers with a combined weight of less than 400 lbs (181 kg).
The seat bottom can be folded out to form a load deck. When using the load deck, position the load as far forward as
possible and securely fasten it down. The maximum load is 400 lbs (181 kg) and the center of gravity must not be higher
than 12" (30 cm) above the load deck.
WINCH OPERATION (IF EQUIPPED WITH WINCH)
This vehicle may be equipped with an optional winch. Read, understand and follow all of the information supplied with the
winch on the operation and use of the winch before attempting to operate it.
Winch Application
A winch may be used for a number of purposes, including pulling the vehicle if it loses traction on unsuitable terrain.
Improper use of the winch could result in a number of conditions that could cause severe injury or
death to operator, occupants of vehicle or bystander.
It is impossible to predict all conditions that the winch could be used, therefore the following warnings should not be con-
sidered as complete. Before operating the winch, consider the possible dangers and take precautions to protect yourself,
your passenger and any bystanders.
