OPERATION
Hauling Cargo
Overloading the vehicle or carrying or towing cargo improperly can alter vehicle
handling and may cause loss of control or brake instability. Always follow these
precautions when hauling cargo.
• Read and understand the load distribution warnings listed on the vehicle
warning labels.
• Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle.
• Never carry cargo on the rear rack when operating the ATV in the 2-up mode
with a passenger.
• REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCES FOR BRAKING
WHEN HAULING CARGO OR TOWING. Use extreme caution when applying
brakes. Avoid situations that require backing downhill.
• When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed, cargo and towed
load to maintain stable driving conditions.
• DO NOT BLOCK THE FRONT HEADLIGHT BEAM when carrying loads on the
front rack.
• CARRY LOADS AS LOW ON THE RACK AS POSSIBLE. Carrying a load high
on the rack raises the center of gravity of the vehicle and creates a less stable
operating condition. Reduce load weight when cargo is high. Secure off-
centered loads that cannot be centered and operate with extra caution.
• CARRYING A LOAD on only one rack may cause the vehicle to overturn. Split
the load between the front rack and rear rack, with 1/3 in the front and 2/3 in
the back. Do not exceed load capacities. See specifications beginning on page
124.
• SECURE ALL LOADS BEFORE OPERATING. Unsecured loads can create
unstable operating conditions, which could result in loss of control of the
vehicle.
• OPERATE ONLY WITH STABLE AND SAFELY ARRANGED LOADS. When
handling off-centered loads that cannot be centered, securely fasten the load
and operate with extra caution. Always attach the tow load to the hitch point
designated for your vehicle.
• USE EXTREME CAUTION when operating with loads that extend over the
rack sides. Stability and maneuverability may be adversely affected, causing
the vehicle to overturn.
• TOWING is approved OFF-ROAD ONLY. Operating a Quadricycle/trailer
combination on public roads is prohibited.
• TOWING SPEED should never exceed 16 km/h. Never exceed 8 km/h when
towing loads in rough terrain, while cornering, or while ascending or
descending hills.
