Hauling Cargo

WARNING

Overloading the vehicle or carrying or towing cargo improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or brake instability, which can result in serious injury or death. Always follow these precautions when hauling cargo:

REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCES FOR BRAKING WHEN HAULING CARGO.

NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT CAPACITY of the vehicle. When determining the weight you are adding to the vehicle, include the weight of the operator, accessories, loads in the rack or box and the load on the trailer tongue. The combined weight of these items must not exceed the maximum weight capacity.

CARGO WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION should be 1/3 on the front rack and 2/3 on the rear rack. When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to maintain stable driving conditions. Carrying loads on only one rack increases the possibility of vehicle overturn.

CARRY LOADS AS LOW ON THE RACKS AS POSSIBLE. Carrying loads high on the racks raises the center of gravity of the vehicle and creates a less stable operating condition.

SECURE ALL LOADS BEFORE OPERATING. Unsecured loads can create unstable operating conditions, which could result in loss of control of the vehicle.

OPERATE ONLY WITH STABLE AND SAFELY ARRANGED LOADS. When handling off-centered loads that cannot be centered, securely fasten the load and operate with extra caution. Always attach the tow load to the hitch point designated for your vehicle.

HEAVY LOADS CAN CAUSE BRAKING AND CONTROL PROBLEMS. Use extreme caution when applying brakes with a loaded vehicle. Avoid terrain or situations that may require backing downhill.

USE EXTREME CAUTION when operating with loads that extend over the rack sides. Stability and maneuverability may be adversely affected, causing the vehicle to overturn.

DO NOT BLOCK THE FRONT HEADLIGHT BEAM when carrying loads on the front rack.

DO NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE RECOMMENDED SPEEDS.

The vehicle should never exceed 10 mph (16 kph) while towing a load on a level surface. Vehicle speed should never exceed 5 mph (8 kph) when towing loads in rough terrain, while cornering, or while ascending or descending a hill.

HAULING CARGO GUIDELINES

  1. Never exceed the weight capacities specified for your ATV on warning labels and in the specifications section of this manual

  2. Cargo weight should be evenly distributed (1/3 on the front rack and 2/3 on the rear rack) and mounted as low as possible.

  3. When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo weight to maintain stable driving conditions.

  4. NEVER exceed 62 MPH (100 km/h) when rear cargo loads are above 125 lbs (57 kg) and/or front cargo loads are above 50 lbs. (23kg). NEVER exceed 50 MPH (80 km/h) when rear cargo loads are above 250 lbs (114 kg) and/or front cargo loads are above 100 lbs. (46 kg).

  5. Do not obstruct the headlight beam with cargo.

  6. Slow down.

  7. Use low forward gear when hauling or towing heavy cargo to extend belt life.

  8. Always operate the vehicle with extreme caution whenever hauling or towing loads. Balance, handling and control may be affected.
