l
Do not mount an accessory where it could
interfere with your ability to control the
ATV. Examples include (but are not limited
to) a heavy or bulky object attached to the
handlebars which could make steering diffi-
cult, an accessory that limits your ability to
move around on the seat, or one that limits
your view.
l
Use extra caution when riding an ATV with
accessories. The ATV may handle different-
ly than it does without accessories.

at the rear of the front carrier and at the
front of the rear carrier. Center the load
from side to side.

l
Ride 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
whenever you are carrying heavier loads or
when towing a trailer.
l
Allow more braking distance. A heavier ve-
hicle takes longer to stop.
l
Avoid making sharp turns unless at very
slow speeds.
l
Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose ter-
rain carefully. Added weight affects the sta-
bility and handling of the ATV.WARNING
Never exceed the stated load capacity for this
ATV. Overloading this ATV or carrying or tow-
ing cargo improperly could cause changes in
vehicle handling which could lead to an acci-
dent. Cargo should be properly distributed
and securely attached. Reduce speed when
carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow great-er distance for braking.
