TRANSPORTING VEHICLE

Towing

Use extra caution when towing a vehicle.

DO NOT ride on the vehicle being towed.

DO NOT attempt to tow the vehicle with ropes, chains or any device other than a factory approved

tow bar.

DO NOT tow the vehicle on highways.

DO NOT tow a single vehicle at speeds in excess of 12 mph (19 kph).

Hauling

Be sure vehicle and all contents are secure before transporting a vehicle.

Never ride on the vehicle being transported.

Always remove the windshield (if equipped) before transporting.

Maximum speed with sun top installed is 50mph (80 kph).

If the vehicle is to be transported at speed greater than 50 mph (80 kph), the sun top must be removed and the seat bot-

tom secured. When transporting vehicle below 50 mph (80 kph), check for tightness of hardware and cracks in sun top at

mounting points.
The rated capacity of the trailer or truck must exceed the weight of the vehicle (see GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for

vehicle weight) and load plus 1000 lbs. (454 kg).
Secure the vehicle using ratchet tie downs.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

DO NOT attempt any type of servicing operations before reading all notices, cautions and warn-

ings in this manual.

Any servicing requiring adjustments to be made to the powertrain while the motor is running must

be made with both drive wheels raised and vehicle properly supported on jack stands.

To reduce the possibility of motor damage, never operate vehicle at full throttle for more than 4 - 5

seconds while vehicle is in a ‘no load’ (lifted) condition.
