Loading the Cargo Bed

Use the following guidelines when loading the cargo
bed and operating the machine:
•
Observe the weight capacity of the machine and
g034545
limit the weight of the load that you carry in the
cargo bed as described in
13) and on the gross vehicle weight tag of the
machine.
Note:
The load rating is specified for machine
operation on a level surface only.
•
Reduce the weight of the load that you carry in the
cargo bed when operating the machine on hills
and rough terrain.
•
Reduce the weight of the load that you carry when
the materials are tall (and have a high center of
gravity), such as a stack of bricks, landscaping
timbers, or fertilizer bags. Distribute the load as
low as possible to ensure that the load does not
reduce your ability to see behind the machine
when operating it.
•
Keep loads centered by loading the cargo bed as
follows:
– Evenly position the weight in the cargo bed
from side to side.

loads in the cargo bed, particularly when you

the cargo bed.
