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.
