Hauling Cargo
Load Distribution
Your ATV has been designed to
carry or tow a certain amount of
load. Always read and
understand the l oad distribution
warnings listed on the warning
labels, and never exceed the
specified weights.
Cargo weight should be mounted
as low as possible. When
operating over rough or hilly
terrain, reduce speed and cargo to
maintain stable driving
conditions.
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
loading and operating. Unintentional dumping will result if weight
is placed in the rear of the box and the latch is not secured.
