WARNING

Avoid stopping on a hill when towing. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts, or rolling backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning could cause the vehicle to overturn, possibly resulting in severe personal injury.

Reduce normal driving speed when transporting a vehicle on a trailer.

For use on public roads, the trailer must meet all federal, state, and local requirements such as taillights, brake lights, etc.

Never tow a vehicle behind a passenger vehicle or truck on a public road unless it is on an approved trailer.

The vehicle to be transported should be tied securely to the trailer, with the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, the key switch in the OFF position, and the park brake firmly engaged.

Because of the added length of the trailer, use caution when making turns.

Do not transport the vehicle on a trailer with a load in the vehicle cargo bed.

Remove the vehicle windshield and secure seats before transporting on a trailer.

If the vehicle must be transported over long distances or on public highways, it should be transported on an approved trailer that has an approved load rating of 2000 lb. (908 kg) per vehicle being transported. See following NOTE.

NOTE: A two-car trailer should be rated at 2 x 2000 lb. = 4000 lb. (2 x 908 kg = 1816 kg).

STORAGE

See General Warnings on page 11.

DANGER

Do not attempt to drain fuel when the engine is hot or while it is running.

Clean up any spilled fuel before operating the vehicle.

Store fuel in an approved fuel container only. Store in a well-ventilated area away from sparks, open flames, heaters, or heat sources.

Keep fuel out of the reach of children.

Do not siphon fuel from the vehicle.

WARNING

Turn the key switch to the OFF position, remove the key, and leave the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position during storage. This is to prevent unintentionally starting the vehicle or a fire hazard.

Gasoline vehicles only: Turn fuel shut-off valve to the closed (OFF) position (Figure 14).

Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the battery. Frozen batteries can explode.

CAUTION

• Batteries in a low state of charge will freeze at low temperatures.
