WARNING:
A loaded cargo box can be very heavy.
Do not attempt to dump a loaded cargo box unless
UV is equipped with an electric lift option.
IMPORTANT: If dumping by electric lift, stop immediately if
actuator clutch slippage occurs. Lower cargo box completely and
remove excess load by hand before dumping.
4. Relatch the tailgate to the cargo box. Do not drive the UV
with cargo box in the raised position.
Flat Bed Operation
(If Equipped with Aluminum Cargo Box)

2. Remove latches from the tailgate and sides. See "Figure
4-6".
3. Slide the tailgate and sides out of the hinges.
4. Reverse order to reattach.
Loading the Cargo Box
WARNING:
The UV may become unstable if the
cargo box is loaded incorrectly. Avoid loose and
shifting loads or uneven loading of material.
1. Verify cargo box is latched before loading.
2. Securely anchor all loads in cargo box and do not load
beyond maximum capacity.
3. The maximum box capacity is 1,000 lb (452 kg) for steel
cargo box or 1,200 lb (544 kg) for aluminum cargo box.
4. When loading objects into UV, be sure load is securely
anchored and evenly distributed in cargo box.
5. Do not load above height of cargo box front panel. Load
could shift forward striking driver or passenger or cause
driver to lose control of UV.
6. Avoid loads which exceed physical dimensions of cargo
box.
7. Avoid concentrated loads at rear or side of cargo box. Be
sure load is distributed evenly.
8. Reduce load and ground speed when operating over rough
or hilly terrain. DO NOT overload UV. Limit loads to those
that can be safely controlled.
Towing Loads
WARNING:
To help prevent personal injury due to
loss of control or tipping, always tow a load slow
enough to maintain control.
1. Do not tow a load that exceeds 1,400 lb (635 kg) rolling
weight (i.e. trailer plus cargo) and never exceed 140 lb (63.5 kg)
tongue weight.
2. Go slow when towing a heavy load. Allow for increased
braking distance. Tow load at a speed slow enough to
maintain control.
3. Do not tow on slopes greater than 5°.
4. Be particularly cautious when towing or turning, even
down a gradual slope. The extra weight tends to push the
tow vehicle and may cause you to lose control (braking
and steering ability are reduced; towed equipment may
jack-knife).
IMPORTANT: Extreme angles such as high railroad
crossings can place high bending loads on hitch
connection. If traversing terrain where these conditions
exist, use of a ball or pintle type hitch is recommended.
5. Always use approved hitch and hitch point provided for the
UV. Do not modify the hitch in any way.
