Loading
Cargo or a trailer can change the stability
and handling of an ATV.
You must use common sense and good
judgement when carrying cargo or towing
a trailer. Keep the following points in mind:
Never exceed the weight limits shown.
An overloaded ATV can be unstable.
Do not exceed the maximum tongue
weight. You can measure tongue weight
with a bathroom scale. Put the tongue of
the loaded trailer on the scale with the
tongue at hitch height. Adjust the load in
the trailer, if necessary, to reduce the
weight on hitch.
If you are carrying cargo and towing a
trailer, include the tongue weight in the
maximum vehicle load limit.
Load cargo on the carrier as close to the
center of the vehicle as possible. Put car-
go at the front of the rear carrier. Center
the load from side to side.
Tie down cargo securely to the carriers.
Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot
move around. A shifting load can cause
an accident.
Make sure the load does not interfere
with controls or your ability to see where
you are going.
