OPERATION
Hauling Cargo
Your ATV has been
designed to carry or tow a
certain amount of load.
Always read and understand
the load distribution warn-
ing labels on the vehicle,
and never exceed the weight
capacities outlined in the
specifications section of the
owner's manual and on the
safety decals.
Cargo weight should be
mounted as low as possible.
When operating over rough
or hilly terrain, reduce speed
and cargo weight to maintain stable driving conditions. Do not obstruct
the headlight beam with cargo. Use low forward gear when hauling or
towing heavy cargo to extend belt life.
1. Always load the cargo box with the load as far forward as possible.
2. Always operate the vehicle with extreme caution whenever hauling
or towing loads. Balance, handling, and control may be affected.
3. Slow down.
4. Make sure the cargo box dump latch is securely latched before load-
ing and operating. Unintentional dumping will result if weight is
placed in the rear of the box and the latch is not secured.
