Transporting the Vehicle
When transporting the RANGER for a long distance or on public streets, always use a trailer with an approved load rating greater than the RANGER’s curb vehicle weight of 771 kg (1700 lbs.) plus any installed accessories or cargo.
Follow these guidelines when transporting the RANGER.
-
Set the park brake.
-
Remove the key to prevent loss.
-
Secure the seat, hood and tailgate latches. Ensure that the seats are attached correctly and are not loose.
-
Always tie the frame of the RANGER to the transporting unit securely with suitable straps.
-
If using an open trailer, remove the windshield (if equipped).
-
Never allow passengers on a trailer or in a trailered vehicle.
-
Reduce speed and drive with caution.
Cargo and other loose vehicle parts may fly off while transporting this vehicle. Secure or remove all cargo, and inspect the unit for loose parts prior to transport.
If transporting the vehicle in a non-enclosed trailer, then the vehicle must FACE FORWARD, or roof must be removed.
Failure to comply may allow airflow, vibration, or other factors to separate the roof from the vehicle and cause an accident, resulting in serious personal injury or death.
