DANGER
• Use caution when working under bed. Be sure prop rod is secure. Otherwise the bed will fall,
resulting in severe personal injury or death.
ý
WARNING
• Do not disengage prop rod until all persons are clear of cargo bed area.
• Do not drop tilt bed; lower gently and keep entire body clear. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in severe injury.
• Keep hands clear of crush area between bed and seat back support.
To lower the bed of a Turf 2, Carryall 2, or Carryall 2 Plus, lift the bed so that the prop rod is no longer sup-
ported in one of the track notches. Push the prop rod toward the front of the vehicle to free it from the track
notch and gently lower the bed. DO NOT drop the bed.
To lower the bed of the Turf 6 or Carryall 6, secure the prop rod in the prop rod clip and gently lower the bed.

LOADING AND UNLOADING

ý
WARNING
• Firmly engage the park brake before loading the vehicle.
• Do not allow riders in the cargo bed.
• Do not exceed the rated capacity of the vehicle. Rated capacity is for level surfaces only.
• Overloading can affect vehicle handling or cause component failure, resulting in loss of
control of vehicle and possible severe personal injury.
• Reduce vehicle load and speed when driving up or down slopes or on uneven terrain.
• Reduce speed and avoid sudden stops when backing up. Failure to do so may cause the
vehicle to overturn or flip over backwards.
• Avoid stopping on a hill when loaded. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts, or rolling
backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning may cause vehicle to
overturn, possibly resulting in severe personal injury.
• Do not load the tailgate. The tailgate should be in the upright position and latched securely
while the vehicle is in motion.
• To help avoid shifting the vehicle load and possibly overturning the vehicle, avoid sudden
starts, sudden stops, and abrupt turns.
• The cargo's center of gravity may affect the handling, steering, and braking of the vehicle.
When the vehicle is loaded, reduce speed and drive slowly in turns.
• To help prevent cargo from shifting and possibly injuring a passenger or affecting the
vehicle's handling, make sure cargo is well secured.
• Avoid top-heavy loads. The center of gravity of a load should never exceed 15 inches (38 cm)
above the bottom of the cargo bed.
• Unload cargo bed before raising vehicle with a lift, hoist, or jack.
