OPERATION (K) K A J D H C I D F B E G Figure 1 FEATURES F. CARGO BED A. FUEL CAP The cargo bed is used to haul materials and is located on the back of the utility vehicle. See the Specifications chart for information on cargo bed capacity and dimensions. B. BUMPER The cargo bed release levers are located on both the RH and LH side of the cargo bed and are used to tilt the cargo bed. Refer to Figure 1 for the location of the features described below.
OPERATION OCCUPANT PROTECTION STRUCTURE (OPS) & SEAT BELTS (NOT SHOWN) WARNING Always wear the seat belt when operating the utility vehicle. This utility vehicle is equipped with an Occupant Protection Structure (OPS) and seat belts. When used together they are effective in reducing crushing injuries to the operator and passenger in the event of an accidental rollover or tip-over. The safety provided by the OPS is minimized if the seat belt is not properly adjusted AND buckled.
OPERATION O. GLOVE BOX D. HORN The horn activates the horn under the hood when depressed. The glove box is a small storage area in the dash on the passenger side of the utility vehicle. E. HAZARD SWITCH P. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER The hazard switch turns the hazards “ON” and “OFF.” The instrument cluster contains: 1 - TACHOMETER 2 - PARKING BRAKE INDICATOR F. TURN SIGNAL SWITCH The turn signal switch controls the turn signals and activates the LH or RH turn signals.
OPERATION NOTE: The engine will not start without the gear shift in the NEUTRAL (N) or PARK (P) position and the brake depressed. • Do not start quickly nor apply the brakes suddenly. • In winter, operate the vehicle after fully warming up the engine. 3.

OPERATION Loading a Utility Vehicle into a Truck or onto a Trailer CHOOSING THE PROPER LOADING RAMP(S) Choosing a reliable ramp and understanding how to properly use it is far and above the best option for safely loading a utility vehicle into your truck or onto your trailer.
OPERATION 3. Face the truck bed or trailer towards a slight incline, which will reduce the steepness of the loading angle by bringing the bottom of the ramps up on the slight incline (Figure 8). 5. Use tie-down straps or cables to secure the ramps to the trailer or truck, via the bumper (steel bumpers only) or trailer hitch safety chain loops. Refer to instructions provided with the ramp. 6. If your utility vehicle is supplied with a roof and/or windshield, remove or fully secure them prior to loading.
