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. Place the transmission in PARK.

4. Dismount the vehicle.

5. Ensure that the cargo is positioned evenly or toward the front

of the cargo box.

WARNING! If the weight distribution on the box is located toward the rear
of the box when using the release lever, the box may dump unexpectedly
when the lever is pulled 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.

6. Release the tailgate latches and lower the tailgate.
7. Using Electric Switch: Press and hold the top of the dump box

switch to dump the cargo. Release the switch after the cargo
has dumped or when the box reaches the fully elevated
position, indicated by a ratcheting sound. Press and hold the
bottom of the dump box switch to lower the cargo box.
Release the switch when the box is fully seated on the frame,
indicated by a ratcheting sound.
Using Release Lever: Stand clear of the cargo box and pull
the release lever. Lift the front of the cargo box to dump the
cargo. Lower the cargo box and push down securely to latch.
Make sure the box is fully seated on the frame before
operating the vehicle.

8. 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.
