The Turf 6 and Carryall 6 are equipped with a manual prop rod. When lifting the bed, remove the prop rod from
the clip and engage the prop rod.

• Use caution when working under bed. Be sure prop rod is secure. Otherwise the bed will fall, resulting
in severe personal injury or death.

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 supported 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. Make
sure to install the cargo bed hold-down bolts. See following WARNING.

instructions can cause severe injury or death.
