CARGO AND TRANSPORTATION

While reading this Operator's Guide, remember that:
Indicates a potential hazard that, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.

Cargo

The vehicle handling, stability and braking distance are affected when loading racks and
using the vehicle. Correct loading and weight distribution are therefore important. Never over-
load, tow or carry cargo improperly. Always ensure the cargo is safely secured and properly
distributed on the rack(s) before operating the vehicle. Safely reduce speed according to
terrain conditions when carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for breaking.
Always secure cargo as low as possible on the rack(s) to reduce the effect of a higher center
of gravity. Failure to follow the recommendations here could cause changes in vehicle han-
dling which could lead to an accident resulting in severe injuries including the possibility of
death.
When cargoing vehicle, respect these maximum loads.
