Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equipment damage. See pages 5-1-5-2 for a list of pre-operation checks. Prepare your load or trailer Carrying loads, towing a trailer, or pulling objects can affect handling, stability, and cause the risk of overturns or other accidents. • Read Chapter 6 before loading, towing, or pulling objects. • Do not overload the vehicle or trailer. Refer to label in cargo bed for cargo bed load limit. Refer to label next to hitch for tongue weight and trailer load limits. • Keep weight in the cargo bed centered side to side, and as low and as far forward as possible. • Secure cargo so that it will not shift - a loose load could change handling unexpectedly or be thrown forward and strike occupants. 2-3

Prepare your vehicle
Perform the pre-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe operat-
ing condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an ac-
cident or equipment damage. See pages 5-1–5-2 for a list of pre-operation checks.
Prepare your load or trailer
Carrying loads, towing a trailer, or pulling objects can affect handling, stability, and cause the risk
of overturns or other accidents.
Read Chapter 6 before loading, towing, or pulling objects.
Do not overload the vehicle or trailer. Refer to label in cargo bed for cargo bed load limit. Re-
fer to label next to hitch for tongue weight and trailer load limits.
Keep weight in the cargo bed centered side to side, and as low and as far forward as pos-
sible.
Secure cargo so that it will not shift – a loose load could change handling unexpectedly or be
thrown forward and strike occupants.
