●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.
●Allow more braking distance. A heavier ve-
hicle takes longer to stop.
●Avoid making sharp turns unless at very
slow speeds.
●Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose ter-
rain carefully. Added weight affects the sta-
bility and handling of the ATV.
