• Cargo shall only be transported in the designated
cargo area of the vehicle and evenly distributed
with the center of gravity close to the center of
the designated cargo area.

• Our deck enclosures and covers such as cabs,
fiberglass tops, surrey tops, cargo boxes, and
similar structures are not designed to carry cargo
or accessories unless equipped from the factory.
Mounting additional weight on these structures
may result in sudden failure of the cover and/or
cover supports causing severe personal injury.
• Cargo consisting of fluid in tanks shall have fluid
baffles in the tank to help reduce sloshing and
shifting load weight.
