Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
GENERAL
The canopy does not provide pro-
tection from roll over or falling
objects.
The windshield does not provide protection from
tree limbs or flying objects.
The canopy and windshield are designed for weather pro-
tection only.
Clean the windshield with water and a clean cloth. Minor
scratches can be removed with a commercial plastic pol-
ish or Plexus plastic cleaner available from the service
parts department.
Transporting Vehicle
If the vehicle is to be transported on a trailer at highway
speeds, the windshield and top must be removed and the
seat bottoms secured. Always check that the vehicle and
contents are adequately secured before transporting the
vehicle.
To decrease the risk of personal
injury to occupants of other high-
way vehicles, be sure that the
vehicle and contents are secured
to trailer.
Do not ride on vehicles being transported.
Remove the windshield before transporting.
Maximum speed with canopy installed is 50 mph
(80 kph).
