Choose a trailer hitch drawbar designed for
use with a 5 cm (2 in) receiver. (See page 4-33
for more information.)
You can measure tongue weight with a bath-
room scale. Put the tongue of the loaded trail-
er 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.Operating when loaded with cargo or tow-
ing a trailer
Drive 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 to keep the vehicle in low gear
whenever you are carrying heavier loads or
when towing a trailer.
WARNING
EWB03320Carrying loads or towing a trailer can in-
crease the risk of loss of control, an over-
turn, or other accident. To reduce the risk
of an accident:

Reduce speed, operate in low gear only,
and allow more room to stop. A heavier
vehicle takes longer to stop.
 Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose
terrain carefully. Use extreme caution
when towing or carrying a load on in-
clines.
 Turn gradually and go slowly.

The total weight of operator, passenger, ac-
cessories, cargo, trailer tongue weight, and
the vehicle itself must not exceed 975 kg
(2150 lb). Vehicle loading can affect handling.
See “Loading” on page 6-7.EBU33730Operation on different surfaces and
terrainsGo slowly and proceed with caution when op-
erating on an unfamiliar surface or terrain.
This vehicle may handle differently in certain
types of terrains or on certain surfaces. You
may come upon hidden rocks, bumps, or
holes without enough time to react. To avoid
loss of control or rollover, always be alert to
changing surfaces or terrain when operating
the vehicle. Your Yamaha Wolverine has higher ground
clearance and other features to handle rug-
ged terrain, and as a result, can overturn in
situations where some vehicles may not.
Abrupt maneuvers or aggressive driving can
cause loss of control, including rollovers –
even on flat, open areas. These rollovers can
result in crushed limbs and other serious inju-
ries or death to drivers or passengers.
Hills
Choose carefully which hills you attempt to
climb or descend. Avoid hills with slippery
surfaces or those where you will not be ableUBN57AE0.book Page 17 Tuesday, November 24, 2015 1:42 PM
