Hauling Cargo
Your ATV has been designed to carry or tow a certain amount of load.
Always read and understand the load distribution warning labels on the
vehicle, and never exceed the weight capacities specified in your
owner’s manual and on safety decals.
Cargo weight should be evenly distributed (1/3 on the front rack and
2/3 on the rear rack) and 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.
Maximum Towing Capacities
Maximum trailer weight - 1500 (680 kg) on level ground only, with a
maximum vertical hitch weight of 150 lbs. (68.04 kg). NOTE: The
rear rack capacity and tongue weight should not exceed 200 lbs.

grade steeper than 1 5° (850 lbs. on grades up to 15° ).
