WEATHER PROTECTION
Read all of Section B and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
TOP AND WINDSHIELD
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 are designed for weather protec-
tion only.
Clean with lots of water and a clean cloth. Minor
scratches may be removed using a commercial plastic
polish or Plexus plastic cleaner available from Service
Parts.
Transporting
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or
death while transporting vehicle:
Secure the vehicle and contents.
Never ride on vehicle being transported.
Always remove windshield before trans-
porting.
Maximum speed with sun top installed is
50 mph (80 kph).
If the vehicle is to be transported at highway speeds, the
sun top must be removed and the seat bottom secured.
When transporting vehicle below highway speeds,
check for tightness of hardware and cracks in sun top at
mounting points. Always remove windshield when trans-
porting. Always check that the vehicle and contents are
adequately secured before transporting. The rated
capacity of the trailer or truck must exceed the weight of
the vehicle (see GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for vehi-
cle weight) and load. Lock the park brake and secure the
vehicle using ratchet tie downs.
