There are some important things to remember
about how to load your vehicle.

The heaviest things should be on the load
floor and forward of your rear axle. Put
heavier items as far forward as you can.

Be sure the load is secured properly, so
driving on the off-road terrain does not
toss things around.

You will find other important information in this
manual. See

Environmental Concerns

Off-road driving can provide wholesome and
satisfying recreation. However, it also raises
environmental concerns. We recognize these
concerns and urge every off-roader to follow these
basic rules for protecting the environment:

Always use established trails, roads, and areas
that have been specially set aside for public
off-road recreational driving; obey all posted
regulations.

Avoid any driving practice that could damage
the environment — shrubs, flowers, trees,
grasses — or disturb wildlife. This includes
wheel-spinning, breaking down trees, or
unnecessary driving through streams or over
soft ground.

Always carry a litter bag — make sure all refuse
is removed from any campsite before leaving.

Take extreme care with open fires where
permitted, camp stoves, and lanterns.

Never park your vehicle over dry grass or other
combustible materials that could catch fire from
the heat of the vehicle’s exhaust system.

Traveling to Remote Areas

It makes sense to plan your trip, especially when
going to a remote area. Know the terrain and plan
your route. You are much less likely to get bad
surprises. Get accurate maps of trails and terrain.
Try to learn of any blocked or closed roads.

It is also a good idea to travel with at least one other
vehicle. If something happens to one of them, the
other can help quickly.
