Loading

As originally equipped, this ATV is not designed

to carry cargo or tow a trailer. If you choose to

add accessories so that you can carry cargo or

tow a trailer, you must use common sense and

good judgment. Keep the following points in

mind:

8

Never exceed the weight limits shown. An

overloaded ATV can be unstable.

8

Load cargo on the carriers as close to the

center of the vehicle as possible. Put cargo at

the rear of the front carrier and at the front of

the rear carrier. Center the load from side to

side.

8

Tie down cargo securely to the carriers. Make

sure cargo in the trailer cannot move around.

A shifting load can cause an accident.

8

Make sure the load does not interfere with

controls or your ability to see where you are

going.

8

Ride more slowly than you would without a

load. The more weight you carry, the slower

you should go. Although conditions vary, it is

good practice not to exceed 2nd gear when-

ever you are carrying heavier loads or when

towing a trailer.

8

Allow more braking distance. A heavier vehi-

cle takes longer to stop.

8

Avoid making sharp turns unless at very slow

speeds.

8

Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose terrain

carefully. Added weight affects the stability

and handling of the ATV.
