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.
