l
Never operate the ATV on hills too steep for
the ATV or for your abilities. Practice on
smaller hills before attempting larger hills.
l
Always follow proper procedures for climb-
ing hills as described in this manual. Check
the terrain carefully before you start up any
hill. Never climb hills with excessively slip-
pery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight
forward. Never open the throttle suddenly.
Never go over the top of a hill at high speed.
l
Always follow proper procedures for going
down hills and for braking on hills as de-
scribed in this manual. Check the terrain
carefully before you start down any hill.
Shift your weight backward. Never go down
a hill at high speed. Avoid going down a hill
at an angle that would cause the vehicle to
lean sharply to one side. Go straight down
the hill where possible.

l
Always follow proper procedures for cross-
ing the side of a hill as described in this
manual. Avoid hills with excessively slip-
pery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight to
the uphill side of the ATV. Never attempt to
turn the ATV around on any hill until you
have mastered the turning technique de-
scribed in this manual on level ground.
Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill if pos-
sible.
l
Always use proper procedures if you stall or
roll backwards when climbing a hill. To
avoid stalling, use proper gear range and
maintain a steady speed when climbing a
hill. If you stall or roll backwards, follow the
special procedure for braking described in
this manual. Dismount on the uphill side or
to a side if pointed straight uphill. Turn the
ATV around and remount, following the
procedure described in this manual.

Loading
Cargo or a trailer can change the stability and
handling of an ATV. You must use common
sense and good judgment when carrying car-
go or towing a trailer. Keep the following
points in mind:l
Never exceed the weight limits shown. An
overloaded ATV can be unstable.
MAXIMUM LOADING LIMITl
Vehicle loading limit (total weight of car-
go, rider and accessories, and tongue
weight): 210 kg
l
Front carrier: 40 kg
l
Rear carrier: 80 kg
l
Storage box: 2.0 kg
l
Trailer hitch:
Pulling load (total weight of trailer and
cargo): 500 kg
Tongue weight (vertical weight on trailer
hitch point): 15 kg

6-29

EL
l
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 trail-
er, include the tongue weight in the maxi-
mum vehicle load limit.
l
Load cargo on the carrier as close to the
center of the vehicle as possible. Put cargo
at the front of the rear carrier. Center the
load from side to side.
l
Tie down cargo securely to the carriers.
Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot move
around. A shifting load can cause an acci-
dent.
l
Make sure the load does not interfere with
controls or your ability to see where you are
going.

EL
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 low range
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.

1. Lean towards inside of turn.
2. Support your weight on the outer footboard.
1. Se pencher vers l’intérieur du virage.
2. S’appuyer sur le repose-pied extérieur.
1. Inclínese hacia el interior del giro.
2. Descanse su peso en el descansapie exterior.
As you approach a curve, slow down and be-
gin to turn the handlebars in the desired direc-
tion. As you do so, put your weight on the
footboard to the outside of the turn (opposite
your desired direction) and lean your upper
body into the turn. Use the throttle to maintain
an even speed through the turn. This maneu-
ver will let the wheel on the inside of the turn
slip slightly, allowing the ATV to make the turn
properly.
This procedure should be practiced at slow
speed many times in a large off-road area with
no obstacles. If an incorrect technique is used,
your ATV may continue to go straight. If the
ATV doesn’t turn, come to a stop and then
practice the procedure again. If the riding sur-
face is slippery or loose, it may help to position
more of your weight over the front wheels by
moving forward on the seat.
Once you have learned this technique you
should be able to perform it at higher speeds
or in tighter curves.
