Hauling
Make sure you secure the vehicle and all items before you transport a vehicle on a trailer.
DO NOT allow any people on a vehicle being transported on a trailer.
Remove the windshield before you transport vehicle on a trailer.
Maximum speed with sun top installed is 50 mph (80 kph).
If you transport the vehicle on a trailer at highway speeds, the sun top must be removed and the seat bottom secured.
When you transport the vehicle on a trailer below highway speeds, check for tight hardware and cracks in the sun top at
the mounting points.
The rated capacity of the trailer or truck must be more than the weight of the vehicle and load plus 1000 lbs. (454 kg).
See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for the weight of the vehicle.
Secure the vehicle to the trailer with ratchet tie downs.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Read all notices, cautions and warnings before any type of service operations.
The drive wheels must be lifted and supported on jack stands before you do any service to the
powertrain when the engine is in operation.
To decrease the risk of engine damage, do not operate the vehicle at full throttle for more than 5
seconds with the drive wheels lifted off the ground.
Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before you service the vehicle to prevent accidental
operation.
Wear eye protection when you service the vehicle. Be careful when you do
work around batteries, use solvents or compressed air.
To decrease the risk of an electrical arc, which can cause a battery explosion,
disable all electrical loads from the battery before you remove the battery
wires.
Use insulated wrenches to decrease the risk of a wrench falling on a battery to cause a short-cir-
cuit. A battery short-circuit can cause an explosion.
The electrolyte in a battery is an acid solution which can cause burns to the skin and eyes. Com-
pletely clean all electrolyte spills that contact the body and eyes with clear water. Contact a physi-
cian immediately.
Neutralize electrolyte spills with a solution of 2 teaspoons (10 ml) sodium bicarbonate (baking
soda) mixed in 1 quart (1 liter) of water. Rinse with water.
