BELT LIFE
To extend belt life, use low gear when hauling or towing heavy cargo. Using high
gear for heavy loads, hilly terrain or in wet, muddy conditions will increase the
chance of drive belt burning.
DUMPING THE CARGO BOX
To dump the cargo box, do the following:
1. Select a level site to dump the cargo box. Do not attempt to dump or unload
the vehicle while parked on an incline.
2. Apply the brakes. Place the transmission in PARK.

box.
