8Load 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.
8Tie down cargo securely to the carriers. Make
sure cargo in the trailer cannot move around.
A shifting load can cause an accident.
8Make sure the load does not interfere with
controls or your ability to see where you are
going.
8Ride 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.
8Allow more braking distance. A heavier vehi-
cle takes longer to stop.

8Avoid making sharp turns unless at very slow

Never exceed the stated load capacity for
this ATV. Overloading this ATV or carrying
or towing cargo improperly could cause
changes in vehicle handling which could

Cargo should be properly distributed and
securely attached. Reduce speed when car-
rying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater
distance for braking.
