OPERATION

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.

3. Set the park brake.

4. Place the direction selector in neutral.

5. Turn the key off.

6. Dismount the vehicle.

7. Ensure that the cargo is positioned evenly or toward

the front of the cargo box.

8. Release the tailgate latches.

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.

9. Stand clear and pull up on the cargo box release lever.

10. Lift the front of the cargo box to dump the cargo.

11. Lower the cargo box and push down securely to latch.

12. Close the tailgate and secure both tailgate latches.

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 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.

Transporting the RANGER

When transporting the RANGER for a long distance or on public streets, always use a trailer
with an approved load rating greater than the RANGER’s curb vehicle weight of 1700 lbs.
(771 kg) plus any installed accessories or cargo.

Follow these guidelines when transporting the RANGER.

1. Place the direction selector in neutral. Set the park brake.

2. Remove the key to prevent loss.

3. Secure the seat, hood and tailgate latches. Ensure that the seats are attached correctly and

are not loose.

WARNING! Cargo and other loose vehicle parts may fly off while transporting this vehicle. Secure or
remove all cargo, and inspect the unit for loose parts prior to transport.

4. Always tie the frame of the RANGER to the transporting unit securely with suitable

straps.

5. If using an open trailer, remove the windshield (if equipped).

6. Never allow passengers on a trailer or in a trailered vehicle.

7. Reduce speed and drive with caution.
