Hauling Cargo Guidelines

When hauling cargo, adhere to the following:

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. 850 / Premium Models: NEVER exceed 50 mph (80 kph) when rear cargo loads are above 50 lbs (22 kg) and/or front cargo loads are above 25 lbs. (11 kg). NEVER exceed 10 mph (16 kph) when rear cargo loads are above 200 lbs (91 kg) and/or front cargo loads are above 100 lbs. (45 kg).

   850 & XP 1000 Ultimate Trail / Ride Command Models: NEVER exceed 62 mph (100 km/h) when payload is above 215 lbs. (98 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.
