OPERATING PROCEDURES
Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.

DIFFERENTIAL LOCK

B
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from loss of control while vehicle is in motion, do
not engage front differential lock while turning steering wheel. Lock engagement may force steer-
ing wheel to center abruptly, causing loss of grip on wheel and control of vehicle.
Do not drive vehicle on pavement or other hard surfaces with differentials in the locked position. Sharp
maneuvers and turns can cause premature wear and damage to the CV shafts and tires.
Differential locks should only be used when additional traction is required. Continued use of rear differential
lock may cause excessive wear to tires. Continued use of front differential lock may increase steering effort.
Vehicle must be completely stopped before engaging or disengaging differential lock. Failure to stop may
Front and rear differentials are equipped with manually actuated locks. A locked
differential distributes power to both tires on the axle at all times, which greatly
increases traction. Locks are not intended to be engaged at all times. Their purpose
is to free, or prevent vehicle from being stuck as terrain demands, ideally for short
runs at slow speeds. Always disengage differential locks as terrain and conditions
allow.
Push lever(s) to the forward position to engage the differential lock(s). Pull the
levers into the rear position to disengage the lock(s).

DUMP BED

Passengers should never be allowed to ride in the dump bed. Severe injury or death could result if
they should fall out or the vehicle is involved in an accident or sudden maneuver.
Be careful when loading the vehicle. Secure loads to prevent shifting. Do not overload vehicle. A dump bed warning label
is affixed to the inside of the bed on the front panel.
This label must be understood and observed at all times for safe operation of the vehicle. The dump bed is limited to a
maximum load of 500 lbs. The load must be positioned in the bed as far forward as possible, it's center of gravity must
not be higher than 12" above the bed floor, and securely fastened down. Failure to follow these instructions could cause
personal injury, damage to the vehicle and/or cause the vehicle to tip over. Operate the vehicle with awareness of the
load.
Do not drive the vehicle with the dump bed raised or with the tailgate unsupported.
When using the optional electric dump, 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.
Always insure that no one is behind or close to the dump bed while the electric dump mechanism is being operated.
