Cargo And Transportation - BOMBARDIER Outlander 400 Operator's Manual

CARGO AND TRANSPORTATION

While reading this Operator's Guide, remember that:
Indicates a potential hazard that, if not avoided, could result in serious in-
jury or death.
Cargo
The vehicle handling, stability and braking distance are affected when load-
ing racks and using the vehicle. Correct loading and weight distribution are
therefore important. Never overload, tow or carry cargo improperly. Al-
ways ensure the cargo is safely secured and properly distributed on each
rack and between front and rear racks before operating the vehicle. Safe-
ly 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 handling which could lead to an accident resulting in severe in-
juries including the possibility of death.
When car going vehicle, respect these maximum loads.
