LOAD BED
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death, read, understand and follow the Warning label
affixed to the front of the load bed. For safe operation of the vehicle, this label must be understood.
See the load bed warning label for maximum load. The load must be positioned in the bed as far
forward as possible, distributed in such a way that its center of gravity must not be higher than
height noted on label, and secured. Failure to follow these instructions may result in severe injury,
damage the vehicle and/or cause the vehicle to tip over. Use extra care when operating loaded
vehicle.
Do not permit any one to ride in the load bed.
Do not drive the vehicle with the load bed raised or with the tailgate unsupported.
When using a load bed, 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.
