OPERATION

Driving Safely

Dumping the Cargo Box

1. Select a level site to dump

the cargo box. Do not

attempt to dump or unload

the vehicle while parked

on an incline.

2. Apply the brakes. Engage

the park brake.

3. Dismount the vehicle.
4. Ensure that the cargo is

positioned evenly or

toward the front of the

cargo box.

5. Release the tailgate by

pulling up on the tailgate

latch.

6. Stand clear and pull up on the cargo box release lever.
7. Lift the front of the cargo box to dump the cargo.
8. Lower the cargo box and push down securely to latch.

WARNING

Operating the vehicle while the cargo box is raised could result in severe

injury. The box could close unexpectedly and cause injury to the driver or a

passenger. The rear tires will also catch the rear of a raised box, damaging

the vehicle and creating hazardous driving conditions. Never operate this

vehicle with the cargo box in the raised position.

WARNING

If the weight distribution on the box is located toward the rear of the box when

the release lever is pulled forward, the box may dump unexpectedly and

cause serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
Never operate the dump lever without ensuring that the load is positioned

evenly or at the front of the box.
