When puling another vehicle, be sure that someone is controlling the pulled
vehicle. They must brake and steer to prevent the vehicle from going out of
control.
Reduce your speed when hauling a load and turn gradually. Avoid hills and
rough terrain, Never attempt steep hills. Allow more distance for braking,
especially on inclined surfaces. Be careful not to skid or slide.
Loading the Cargo Box
NOTE: When loading or unloading, do not exceed the weight limit of
346 kg(762Ib) on tailgate.
Load cargo as low as possible – a higher load can raise the vehicle’s center of
gravity, which can reduce stability. Position cargo toward the front and center of
the cargo box and as evenly as possible.
Secure the load to the tie down hooks inside cargo box. Use only the tie down
hooks on the bottom of the cargo box; do not secure cargo to the cage or other
part of the vehicle. If it is not properly secured, a load may slide or fall off,
possibly striking occupants or bystanders; or it may shift during driving,
affecting the handling of the vehicle.
Objects that are higher than the walls of the cargo bed may affect visibility for
the driver and may act as projectiles in case of an accident. Loads that protrude
sideways can get snagged or caught in bush, branches or other obstacles.
Avoid covering and obstructing the brake lights with the cargo. Ensure no cargo
protrudes outside the box and that cargo will not interfere with your visibility or
control of the vehicle.
Do not overload cargo box.
Close tailgate before operating.
Operating While Carrying a Load

surfaces.
