OPERATOR/LOAD DISTRIBUTION WARNINGS
VIOLATION OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS COULD CAUSE LOSS
OF CONTROL AND RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
MAKE STARTS, STOPS, TURNS AND DIRECTIONS CHANGES IN A SMOOTH
MANNER so as not to shift the load or overturn the vehicle.
THE FOOT BRAKE PEDAL CONTROLS THE PRIMARY BRAKING for this ve-
hicle.
THE PARK/EMERGENCY BRAKE LEVER will supply increased braking, but
should be used as an EMERGENCY OR PARKING BRAKE ONLY.
THE BOX DUMP LATCH MUST BE SECURELY LATCHED before loading and op-
erating. Unintentional box dumping will result if weight is placed in the rear of the
box and the latch is not secured.
NEVER OPERATE THIS VEHICLE WITH THE DUMP BOX IN THE RAISED
POSITION. The dump box could close unexpectedly while driving, severely injur-
ing the driver and passenger. The rear tires will catch the rear of the box, damaging
the vehicle and creating hazardous driving conditions.
THE VEHICLE BRAKING PERFORMANCE IS REDUCED WHEN CARRYING
LOADS. Reduce speeds and allow for greater stopping distances when operating
in a loaded or trailering condition.
