may require additional ramping in some circumstances. However, clearance at the
trailing end of the vehicle should always be monitored as it is loaded.
The eye bolt should be used for front loading of the IS-F series vehicles. The eye bolt is
located in the tool kit located in the center under the floor in the rear cargo area. (See
