If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidentally start the engine and seriously injure
you or other bystanders.

maintenance. Set the wire(s) aside so it does not accidentally contact the spark plug(s).

Heavy-Duty Operation

WARNING
The bed must be raised to perform some routine
maintenance. The bed could fall and injure persons
that are underneath a raised bed.
• Always use prop rod to hold bed up before
working under raised bed.
• Remove any load material from the bed before
working under raised bed.
Important
If the vehicle is subjected to conditions
listed below, maintenance should be performed twice
as frequently.
• Desert operation
• Cold climate operation (below 0°C)
• Trailer towing
• Frequent operation on dusty roads
• Construction work
• After extended operation in mud, sand, water, or
similar dirty conditions, have your brakes
inspected and cleaned as soon as possible. This
will prevent any abrasive material from causing
excessive wear.
• Under frequent heavy-duty operating conditions,
lubricate all grease fittings and inspect the air
cleaner daily to prevent excessive wear.
CAUTION

and/or engine diagnostics, the rear wheels of the
vehicle should be 25mm (1") off the ground with the

A vehicle on a jack may be unstable and slip off the
jack, injuring anyone beneath it.
• Do not start the engine while the vehicle is on a
jack.
• Always remove the key from the ignition before
getting off the vehicle.
