Read all of Manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and
Warnings
Before operating, check to ensure no one is behind the vehicle. A loadbed warning label is affixed to the inside front
of the bed (see Appendix A). This label must be understood and observed at all times for safe operation of the vehi-
cle. See the loadbed warning label for maximum load. The load must be positioned in the bed as far forward as pos-
sible, distributed in such a way that its center of gravity must not be higher than height noted on label, and securely
fastened down. Failure to follow these instructions may result in severe personal injury, damage the vehicle and/or
cause the vehicle to tip over. Operate the vehicle with awareness of the load.
Do not permit anyone to ride in the bed.
Do not drive the vehicle with the loadbed 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.
Before operating, check to ensure no one is behind the vehicle.
Never fill a gas can in the bed of a vehicle. Static discharge could ignite gasoline vapor and cause an explosion.
Always place a gas can on the ground before filling. Never fill a gas can in the bed of the vehicle. Static electricity is
built up during the fueling process and could discharge causing the gasoline vapor to ignite.
MANUAL LIFT BED OPERATION
Exercise caution while operating the manual lift bed to ensure the bed is not released during lifting or lower-
ing procedure. Severe injury could result if bed is released and traps fingers or other body parts.
To lift the manual lift bed, pull back on the latch release handle immediately behind the driver seat. Raise the bed
using the handle on the side of the bed.
