As with any type of off-highway utility vehicle, carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in serious injury. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death. Operation 11. General Operation 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 2 Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the vehicle and in the manual before attempting to operate or service vehicle. Keep this manual in a safe place for future and regular reference and for ordering replacement parts. This is an off-highway utility vehicle and it should not be operated on public highways. Know and comply with all laws and regulations governing the use of off-highway vehicles in your area. This vehicle handles and maneuvers differently than a normal passenger car. Sharp high speed turns and abrupt maneuvers can cause vehicle to roll over or go out of control. Slow down when turning and avoid abrupt maneuvers. Handling and maneuvering characteristics of vehicle change depending upon cargo load. Heavy loads affect steering, braking, stability, and overall handling of vehicle. Be familiar with all instructions and controls and their proper operation before starting vehicle. Never allow adults to operate this vehicle without proper instruction. Never allow children under 16 years old to operate this vehicle. Children 16 years old and over should read and understand the operation instructions and safety rules in this manual and should be trained and supervised by a parent. Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways. This vehicle is not intended for use on any public roadway. Do not operate this vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Never carry more than one passenger. This vehicle is designed to carry the driver and one passenger only. No riders are allowed in cargo box or anywhere else on vehicle, except in the driver and passenger seats. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. Keep all body parts (i.e. head, arms, hands, legs, feet) inside vehicle when vehicle is in motion. Always remain seated and keep both hands on the steering wheel when driving the vehicle. Sit on the center of the seat and keep both feet within the foot platform perimeter. Clean foot platform if dirty and remove any debris from around foot controls, e.g. brake pedal. Do not misuse the vehicle. Reckless operation can lead to accidents, severe bodily injury or death. Inspect area around vehicle before moving, especially in reverse. Back up slowly. Always look down and behind before and while backing to avoid a backover accident. Keep bystanders out of area. Avoid driving through water, since loss of control may occur. Drive belt may slip if exposed to water thus reducing vehicle pulling power and stopping vehicle entirely. Water depth should not exceed 15 in. (38 cm). Always use vehicle lights while operating in low light situations. Do not mount or leave vehicle while it is in motion or in actual operation. Avoid sudden starts, stops, or turns and always use a level turn-around area. Never leave vehicle unattended with the engine running. Move the shift lever to “PARK” position, turn ignition key to the “OFF” position and remove the key. Check overhead clearances carefully before driving under low hanging tree branches, wires, power lines, bridges, before entering or leaving buildings, or in any other situation where the operator and/or occupant protection structure (OPS) may be struck, which could result in serious injury. Always use the occupant protection structure (OPS) and seat belt for safe operation. Overturning the utility vehicle without an OPS, or with an OPS and the seat belt unfastened, can result in death or injury. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. Always use the seat belt and never remove the occupant protection structure (OPS) or operate the vehicle without the OPS. The doors are designed to assist in keeping the operator and passenger inside the vehicle during operation. Do not operate vehicle without doors in place. Improper use of the vehicle or failure to properly maintain it could result in decreased vehicle performance or personal injury. Engine must be stopped when cleaning, servicing, adjusting, repairing, or installing attachments on utility vehicle. After striking foreign objects, stop the vehicle and shut off the engine. Inspect for damage and repair the damage before restarting and operating. Do not start or operate vehicle in an inside area, unless it is adequately ventilated. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide fumes, which are very poisonous and can be deadly. Assure safety interlock switch is adjusted correctly so engine cannot be started unless gearshift is in the “PARK” position with the brake pedal depressed. Do not touch engine or exhaust components while engine is running or soon after it is stopped. They will be hot and can cause a burn. Always inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure it is in safe operating condition. Always follow the inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in this manual. Do not use the differential lock when driving down hill. Do not use the differential lock at speeds over 25 mph. Allow for greater turning radius and more difficult steering when the differential lock is engaged. If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgement. Contact your local service center or call toll free 1-877-282-8684 for the name of your nearest service center. Occupant Size and Capacity 1. 2. 3. 4. Make sure operators are at least 16 years old and have a valid driver’s license. Each occupant should be able to sit with their back against the seat, feet flat on the floor, and hands on the steering wheel or handholds. The operator should be tall enough to wear the seat belt properly and reach all controls. Passengers should also be tall enough for the seat belt to fit properly and be able to brace themselves, as necessary, by placing both feet firmly on the floor while gripping the handholds. Keep all body parts completely inside the vehicle. 5. Cargo Box Loading/Operation 1. 2. Dress Properly 3. 1. 4. 2. Proper clothing can reduce the severity of injury in the event of an accident. Always wear appropriate eye protection and protective clothing. It is also recommended that you wear a properly fitting D.O.T. approved helmet. Slope Operation 5. 6. Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and rollover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. If a slope is steeper than a 15 degree incline, do not operate this vehicle on that area. Exercise extreme caution while operating on slopes. 7. Do: 1. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Travel straight up and down slopes, not across. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Travel slowly while on a slope. Always keep the forward speed limited when going down slopes to take advantage of the engine braking action. Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. Avoid slopes with slippery, loose, or bumpy surfaces as they are especially hazardous. Use extra care while carrying cargo. It may affect the stability of the vehicle. Spread the load evenly and tie down. 2. 3. 4. Do not travel near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The vehicle could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff, ditch, or if an edge caves in. Do not stop or start suddenly when going uphill or downhill. Be especially cautious when changing direction on slopes. Do not turn sideways to the hill. The vehicle may roll over. If you must turn, go slow and do so carefully and gradually. Do not carry cargo or tow loads on steep slopes. Towing 1. 2. 3. 4. Always use an approved hitch and hitch point provided on the utility vehicle. Do not tow more than 1200 lbs. (544 kg) rolling weight (i.e. trailer plus cargo). Never load more than 110 lbs. (50 kg) tongue weight on tow bracket provided. Go slow and use extra care when towing a trailer. Allow for increased braking distance. Load trailer properly. e. 1. Do not exceed vehicle’s Total Load Capacity rating of 1000 lbs. (453.5 kg) This includes operator, passenger, accessories, and cargo. Do not exceed 500 lbs. (226.7 kg) load in cargo box. Spread load evenly and secure to prevent movement. Do not load above height of cargo box front panel. Load could shift forward and injure driver or passenger. Avoid loads which exceed the physical dimensions of cargo box. Go slow. Heavy loads will affect steering, braking, stability, and overall handling of the vehicle. Limit loads to those that can be safely controlled. Avoid sudden starts, stops, and turns which could cause load to shift. 2. 3. 4. Stop vehicle on level ground, move the shift lever into the “PARK” position before raising cargo box. On manual lift units, unload cargo box before raising cargo box. Do not operate vehicle with cargo box in raised position. Do not operate vehicle with cargo box latch unlatched. Always re-latch upon manually lowering cargo box. 2. When using optional electric lift: a. b. c. Stay in driver’s seat. Keep body parts away from cargo box and keep all bystanders away. Do not allow rear wheels to hang over the edge of a drop-off when raising cargo box. The load in the cargo box may shift causing the vehicle to tip over backwards. Safety Frame (OPS) 1. Your vehicle is equipped with a occupant protection structure (OPS) which must be maintained in a fully functional condition. Use care when driving through doorways or spaces with a low overhead. a. Never modify the OPS in any way. b. Never attempt to straighten or reweld any part of the main frame or retaining brackets that have been damaged. Doing so may weaken the structure and endanger your safety. c. Never secure any parts other than Cub Cadet approved accessories on the main frame or attach the safety frame with anything other than the special fasteners specified. d. Never attach ropes, chains, or cables to the OPS for pulling purposes. Although the OPS, when used with a properly secured seat belt, provides a crush-protective environment in the event of a tip-over or rollover, never take unnecessary risks. Children Cargo Box Lift Do Not: 1. Do not tow heavy loads on slopes greater than 5 degree incline. When going downhill or turning, the extra weight tends to push the tow vehicle and may cause you to loose control (i.e. braking and steering ability are reduced, towed equipment may jack-knife and cause utility vehicle to overturn). 3. Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the vehicle. They do not understand the dangers. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. Avoid run over accidents. a. Keep children out of the immediate area of the vehicle and in watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator. b. Be alert and turn the vehicle off if a child enters the area. c. Before and while backing, look behind and down for small children. d. Never carry small children, they may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe vehicle operation. e. Use extreme care while approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees or other objects that may block your vision of a child who may run into the path of the vehicle. f. Remove key when vehicle is unattended to prevent unauthorized operation. Never allow children under 16 years old to operate this vehicle. Children 16 years old and over should read and understand the operation instructions and safety rules in this manual and should be trained and supervised by a parent. Do not let children ride in the cargo box, in the driver’s or passenger’s lap or anywhere other than the passenger seat. Never give small children a ride; not even in the passenger seat. They may fall off. Service Safe Handling Of Fuel: 1. To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme care in handling fuel. Fuel is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. Serious personal injury can occur when fuel is spilled on yourself or your clothes which can ignite. Wash your skin and change clothes immediately. a. Use only an approved fuel container. b. Never carry or fill containers inside the vehicle’s bed or on a truck or trailer. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling. c. When practical, remove gaspowered vehicle from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a fuel dispenser nozzle. Section 1 — Safe Operation Practices 3 d. e. f. g. h. i. j. k. l. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition. Never fuel indoors. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling. Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than one inch below bottom of filler neck to allow space for fuel expansion. Leave additional room for fuel expansion if the utility vehicle will be in a high-altitude situation. Replace fuel cap and tighten securely. If fuel is spilled, wipe it off immediately. Move vehicle to another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting the engine. To reduce fire hazards, keep engine compartment and exhaust system free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel soaked debris. Never store the vehicle or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a water heater, space heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas appliances. General Service 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 4 Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless, and deadly gas. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain all moving parts have stopped. Remove the key to prevent unintended starting. Check brake operation frequently as it is subjected to wear during normal operation. Adjust and service as required. The cooling system is under pressure, never remove the radiator cap when the system is hot. Slowly turn the cap to the first stop to release pressure before removing the cap. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the vehicle is in safe working condition. Never tamper with the safety interlock system or other safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly. Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs to the vehicle while the engine is running. Wait for vehicle to cool before servicing exhaust or coolant system. Stop vehicle on level ground. Place shift lever in park before servicing. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary. Follow the vehicle maintenance and Section 1 — Safe Operation Practices 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. service schedules to ensure that all mechanical and safety systems are working properly and not worn excessively. Failure to do so can result in accidents, injuries or death. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for gas, oil, etc. to protect the environment. Prior to disposal, determine the proper method to dispose of waste from your local Environmental Protection Agency. Recycling centers are established to properly dispose of materials in an environmentally safe fashion. Use proper containers when draining fluids. Do not use food or beverage containers that may mislead someone into drinking from them. Properly dispose of the containers immediately following the draining of fluids. DO NOT pour oil or other fluids into the ground, down a drain or into a stream, pond, lake or other body of water. Observe Environmental Protection Agency regulations when disposing of oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, batteries, tires and other harmful waste. We do not recommend the use of a pressure washer to clean your vehicle. They may cause damage to electrical components; wheel spindles; pulleys; bearings; or the engine. The use of highpressure water will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability. Do not modify engine To avoid serious injury or death, do not modify engine in any way. Tampering with engine can lead it to operate at unsafe speeds. Never tamper with factory setting of the engine and its components.

Never start the engine while standing outside the utility vehicle. How a new vehicle is handled and maintained determines the life of the vehicle. • Make sure the shift lever is in the NEUTRAL (N) or PARK (P) position before starting the engine. A new vehicle just off the factory production line has been, of course, tested, but various parts are not fully aligned, so the operator should pay more attention to operating the vehicle for the first 50 hours at a slower speed and avoid excessive work or operation until the various parts become “broken-in.” The manner to which you handle the vehicle during the “breaking-in” period greatly affects the life of your vehicle. Therefore, to obtain the maximum performance and the longest life of the vehicle, it is very important to properly breakin your vehicle. For better handling a new vehicle, the following precautions should be observed. Starting the Engine First 50 Hours • Do not operate the vehicle at full speed for the first 50 hours. • Do not start quickly nor apply the brakes suddenly. • In winter, operate the vehicle after fully warming up the engine. • Do not run the engine at speeds faster than prescribed. • On rough roads, slow down to suitable speeds. • Do not operate the vehicle at fast speed. Note: Do not use starting fluid or ether. Note: To protect the battery and the starter, make sure that the starter is not continuously turned for more than 5 seconds. 1. CAUTION Be sure to set the parking brake during warm-up. Be sure to set the shift lever to the PARK position during warm-up. For 5 minutes after engine start-up, allow the engine and transmission to warm up without applying any load. This is to allow oil to reach every engine part. If load applied to the engine or transmission without warming up, damage may occur. Driving the Utility Vehicle 1. Engage the parking brake. Note: The parking brake indicator is illuminated when the parking brake is applied and turns off when it is released. See Figure 4-2. 2. Warming Up Place the shift lever in the NEUTRAL (N) or PARK (P) position. WARNING Do not operate the vehicle without the OPS in place and the seat belt fastened securely around your waist and chest. 2. Note: The engine will not start without the gear shift in the NEUTRAL (N) or PARK (P) position and the brake depressed. 3. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the START position. Release the key when the engine starts. See Figure 4-3. (A) CAUTION K T ONS ART FFAC EY O C Note: The lubricating oil is especially important for a new vehicle. Various parts need time to wear and polish themselves to the correct operating clearances. Small pieces of metal grit may develop during the operation of the vehicle; and this may wear out or damage the parts. Therefore, change the lubricating oil a little earlier than would ordinarily be required. For further details of change interval hours, see the Product Care section of this manual. 4. (B) Start the engine as instructed in the Starting the Engine section and make sure the front wheels are turned to the desired direction of travel. Immediately stop the engine if the engine suddenly slows down or accelerates, unusual noises are suddenly heard or exhaust fumes suddenly become very strong. 3. The above precautions are not limited to new vehicles. However, they should be especially observed for new vehicles. Adjust the seat belt to fit comfortably around your lap, then buckle the seat belt.

When driving on icy, wet or loose surfaces, make sure the vehicle is correctly loaded to avoid skidding and loss of steering control. Reduce the speed and engage front wheel drive. Accident may occur if the vehicle is suddenly braked, such as heavy towed loads shifting forward causing loss of control. The braking characteristics are different between two and four wheel drive. Be aware of the differences and operate carefully. To activate the 4WD stop the utility vehicle and press down on the upper half of the 2WD/4WD switch. To return to 2WD, stop the utility vehicle and press down on the lower half of the 2WD/4WD switch. When in 2WD just the two rear tires will be filled on the instrument cluster indicator, when in 4WD all four tires will be filled. See Figure 4-4. 2WD 4WD Figure 4-4 Section 4 — Controls & Operation 9 Differential Lock Raising & Lowering the Tailgate WARNING To avoid transmission damage, injury, or turf damage, drive slow when operating utility vehicle with differential lock engaged as steering response is noticeably reduced. Also, do not drive the utility vehicle with the differential lock engaged on concrete, asphalt or any high traction surfaces. To open up the tailgate (a), pull up on the tailgate lever (b) and slowly lower the tailgate (a). To close the tailgate (a) lift the tailgate (a) and push it forward until it locks into place. See Figure 4-6. (a) OFF X ON ON X WARNING ON To prevent the possibility of bodily injury from unintentional lowering of the cargo bed, be sure vehicle is on a level and stable surface and parking brake is set before raising cargo bed. X A loaded cargo bed can be very heavy. Do not attempt to dump a heavily loaded cargo bed. X ON OFF Figure 4-5 Important: Engage the differential as the last option when stuck in mud or similar situation or when the left and right side wheels are turning at slightly different speeds. 1. Park the vehicle safely on level ground and set parking brake. 2. Empty heavy loads by hand. 3. For light loads, unlatch cargo bed by pulling up on one of the cargo bed release levers. While holding the cargo bed release lever forward with one hand, lift the cargo bed with your other hand. See Figure 4-7. WARNING Cargo Bed Latch Lever The utility vehicle may become unstable if the cargo bed is loaded incorrectly. Avoid loose and unsecured loads or uneven loading of material. Verify cargo bed is securely latched before loading. 2. Securely anchor all loads in cargo bed and do not load beyond maximum capacity. When loading objects into cargo bed, be sure load is securely anchored and evenly distributed. 4. Do not load above height of cargo bed. Load could shift forward striking driver or passenger or cause driver to lose control of vehicle. 5. Avoid loads which exceed physical dimensions of cargo bed. 6. Avoid concentrated loads at rear or sides of cargo bed. Be sure load is distributed evenly. 7. Reduce load and ground speed when operating over rough or hilly terrain. DO NOT overload vehicle. Limit loads to those that can be safely controlled. 10 Section 4 — Controls & Operation Do not tow a load that exceeds 1200 lb (544 kg) rolling weight (i.e. trailer plus cargo) and never exceed 110 lb (50 kg) tongue weight. 2. Go slow when towing a heavy load. Allow for increased braking distance. Tow load at a speed slow enough to maintain control. 3. Do not tow on slopes greater than 5°. 4. Be cautious when towing downhill, even on a gradual slope or when turning. The extra weight tends to push the tow vehicle and may cause you to lose control (braking and steering ability are reduced; towed equipment may jack-knife). Important: Extreme angles such as high railroad crossings can place high bending loads on hitch connection. 5. Do not modify the hitch in any way. Loading a Utility Vehicle into a Truck or onto a Trailer WARNING Always park the truck or trailer in a flat area, set the parking brake, turn the ignition off and chock the wheels to prevent any unexpected movement while loading the utility vehicle. WARNING Fully secure the loading ramps to the truck or trailer with tie-down straps or cables to prevent the ramps from sliding off while loading. Keep bystanders and/or helpers away from ramps while loading. Due to the overall size and dimensions, loading a utility vehicle into a truck or onto a trailer is a task that requires precision and the proper equipment to be achieved safely. By following the steps outlined below you’ll be able to select the proper equipment to do the job and safely load and unload your utility vehicle. Determine if your truck or trailer is sufficient for the task Loading a utility vehicle into a truck or trailer that can’t support its weight is extremely dangerous. It is important that before any actual loading is done, make sure your truck or trailer and loading ramps are sufficient for loading and hauling the utility vehicle. Here are some of the variables you need to take into account: Note: The maximum box capacity is 500 lb (227 kg). 3. 1. WARNING Loading the Cargo Bed 1. To help prevent personal injury due to loss of control or tipping, always tow a load slow enough to maintain control. Figure 4-6 Raising & Lowering the Cargo Bed (Dumping Load) OFF WARNING (b) The front and rear axle differentials can be activated when the utility vehicle is stopped and the shift lever is in the NEUTRAL position. To activate either axle differential press the upper portion of the front/rear axle differential switch. To deactivate the axle differential press the lower portion of the front/rear axle differential switch. Both, one or neither of the differentials can be active. When activated the differential lock indicator display will show an “X” on the indicator as shown in Figure 4-5. OFF Towing Loads • Length and Width: Measure the size of your truck or trailer by taking width and length measurements at the floor level. Compare these measurements to the width and length of your utility vehicle to make sure it will fit comfortably. • Weight Capacity: Making sure your truck or trailer can handle the payload of your utility vehicle is another critical task before any loading is done. If using a truck, the payload capacity must be a minimum of ¾ ton. If hauling on a trailer, remember that the towing capacity of the vehicle will be reduced by the added weight of the utility vehicle. • Tailgate Considerations: If the payload capacity is sufficient for hauling in a truck, the last thing left to consider is your truck’s bed length. Make certain that your truck bed is long enough to allow the truck’s tailgate to close completely when the utility vehicle is loaded into the truck bed. Lift Up Cargo Bed From Here Figure 4-7 4. Once unloaded, lower the cargo bed and securely latch it before operating the utility vehicle. Do not drive the utility vehicle with cargo bed in the raised position. Choosing the proper loading ramp(s) Choosing a reliable ramp and understanding how to properly use it is far and above the best option for safely loading a utility vehicle into your truck or onto your trailer. Take a look at the considerations you should have in mind when choosing the proper ramp(s): • Proceed with extreme caution. It is very difficult to overcome a mistake while in the loading process. 2. Park the truck or trailer in a flat area, set the parking brake, turn the ignition off and chock the wheels. 3. Face the truck bed or trailer towards a slight incline, which will reduce the steepness of the loading angle by bringing the bottom of the ramps up on the slight incline. See Figure 4-8. Capacity: Utility vehicles are not evenly balanced, meaning it’s necessary to check the axle weights before you make any choices regarding ramps. A typical ramp’s capacity is based upon two axles with equally distributed loads. We recommend 3,000-lb minimum capacity ramp(s) as the appropriate option for your two-person utility vehicle. • Offset Track Widths: Your utility vehicle has an offset track width front and rear, it’s important to factor this in to your ramp placement and ramp width needs. Ramps need to be wide enough to accommodate the difference in the distances between the front two wheels and the rear two wheels. • Ground Clearance and Wheelbase: Utility vehicles which have low ground clearance (under 4”) and a relatively long wheelbase (98” or more), make them prone to bottoming out at the crest when using straight ramps. As a solution to this issue we suggest using arched ramps. • 1. Load Height: As with any ramp application, the distance from the ground to the truck bed or trailer impacts the overall length of the ramp you will need, the greater the load height, the longer the ramp should be. Some ramp manufacturers and retailers provide load height calculators to help you determine the correct ramp length you will need to safely load your vehicle. Figure 4-8 4. Place the ramp fingers or plate edges on the edge of the trailer or truck bed. See Figure 4-9. 5. Use tie-down straps or cables to secure the ramps to the trailer or truck, via the bumper (steel bumpers only) or trailer hitch safety chain loops. Refer to instructions provided with the ramp. 6. If your utility vehicle is supplied with a roof and/or windshield, remove or fully secure them prior to loading. Roofs and windshields are not designed to withstand the wind speeds that the open road can generate, so it’s best to remove them entirely to prevent any damage or accidents. 7. Follow all safety rules provided in this manual along with the manuals supplied by the trailer and ramp manufacturer. Carefully load the utility vehicle onto the truck or trailer. 8. Once the utility vehicle is on the truck or trailer, set the utility vehicle’s parking brake and secure the utility vehicle to the truck or trailer. Tie-down strap placement will depend on your truck or trailer. Be sure to use only tie-down straps sufficient for the load capacity. If loaded onto a truck, close the tailgate once the utility vehicle is secured to the truck bed. 9. Stop periodically to ensure that your tiedown straps have not loosened and that the utility vehicle remains securely in place. Important: Know the total height of your vehicle with the utility vehicle loaded before transporting. Be sure to check for low clearance bridges, doorways etc. prior to traveling under them. The added height above the height of your truck could cause clearance issues and damage to both vehicles. Note: If you are still unsure of what types of ramps you will need to get the job done and are having trouble understanding these instructions, check with your local ramp or utility vehicle retailer for assistance. Loading the Utility Vehicle If your truck or trailer’s load capacity is sufficient to transport the utility vehicle and you obtain the proper loading ramps and equipment to safely secure the utility vehicle to the truck or trailer, the only thing left to do is load it.

If servicing under the cargo bed, be sure that the cargo bed is supported so that it can not inadvertently close. Do not touch muffler or exhaust pipes while they are hot; Otherwise, severe burns could result. WARNING If vehicle diagnosis requires the vehicle to be run with the wheels off the ground, the free wheeling state will cause the engine management system to create a lean condition. This lean condition will cause the exhaust system to become hotter than normal operating conditions. Exercise extreme caution when working around the exhaust components and allow extra time for the exhaust components to cool. Tire Pressure Figure 5-2 Removing the Seat To remove the seat, lift up on the front edge of the seat and after the two pins (a) clear the bushings pull towards the front of the vehicle. See Figure 5-3. When re-installing the seat, make sure the pins (a) in the seat are inserted into the holes (b) in the frame. The recommended operating tire pressure is 14 psi (70 kPa) for all tires. Over-inflating above recommended tire pressure can reduce the life of the tire. Check tire pressures before each use.

See your authorized service dealer to have the air intake line changed. Replacing Brake Hose 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The mini fuses are intended to protect the electrical system. If any of them have blown out, be sure to pinpoint the cause. (See Specifications section, Figure 6-1 for fuse box layout.) 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 2. Open the mini fuse box cover. See Figure 5-24. 7. 8. 10 10 15 10 51 5 15 5 5 10 15 10 25 + + + + + + + + 30 + + + + + + + + 30 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 9. 10. 11. 12. Figure 5-24 3. 4. 5. Pull out the mini fuse. Insert a new mini fuse into the box. Close the mini fuse box cover. 6. Re-connect the negative battery cable. If it freezes, coolant can damage the cylinders and radiator. If the ambient temperature falls below 0°C (32°F) or before a long-term storage, let out coolant completely, or mix fresh water with longlife coolant and fill the radiator and recovery tank with the mixture. 1. Do not remove radiator cap while coolant is hot. When cool slowly rotate to the first stop and allow sufficient time for excess pressure to escape before removing the cap completely. Replacing Mini Fuses When using antifreeze, put on some protection such as rubber gloves. (Antifreeze contains poison.) If you should drink antifreeze, throw up at once and seek medical attention. If antifreeze comes in contact with the skin or clothing, wash it off immediately. Do not mix different types of antifreeze. The mixture can produce a chemical reaction between substances. Antifreeze is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Keep fire away from antifreeze. Keep children away from antifreeze. When draining fluids from the engine, place some container underneath the engine body. Do not pour waste onto the grounds, down a drain or into any water source. Also, observe the relevant environmental protection regulations when disposing of antifreeze. Replacing Intake Air Line CAUTION Figure 5-23 WARNING Stop the engine and let it cool down. To drain the coolant, open the radiator drain plug and remove radiator cap. The radiator cap must be removed to completely drain the coolant. After all coolant is drained, close the drain plug. Note: Do not start engine without coolant. Fill with clean water and cooling system cleaner. Follow directions of the cleaner container. After flushing, fill with clean water and antifreeze until the coolant level is just below the radiator cap. Note: When the anti-freeze is mixed with water, the antifreeze mixing ratio must be 50-50. See the Anti-Freeze section on this page. Install the radiator cap securely. If the cap is loose or improperly fitted, water may leak out and the engine could overheat. Fill with fresh water/antifreeze up to the “FULL” mark on the recovery tank. See Figure 5-13. Start and operate the engine for a few minutes. Stop the engine and let cool. Check coolant level of recovery tank and coolant if necessary. Burp (remove air from) the coolant system as instructed in the Burping (Removing Air From) the Coolant System section on this page. Note: Never mix long-life coolant from different manufacturers. (Different brands may have different additive components, and the engine may fail to perform as specified.) 8. When the long-life coolant is mixed, do not employ any radiator cleaning agent. The long-life coolant contains anticorrosive agent. If mixed with the cleaning agent, sludge may build up, adversely affecting the engine parts. 9. The utility vehicle’s genuine long-life coolant has a service life of 2 years. Be sure to change the coolant every 2 years. 10. Burp (remove air from) the coolant system as instructed in the Burping (Removing Air From) the Coolant System section on this page. Burping (Removing Air From ) the Coolant System To “burp” the coolant system, proceed as follows: Note: When re-filling the coolant system, this procedure should be performed every time to avoid an overheating risk. 1.
