EBU00584
Loading
As originally equipped, this ATV is not de-
signed to carry cargo or tow a trailer. If you
choose to add accessories so that you can
carry cargo or tow a trailer, you must use
common sense and good judgment. Keep the
following points in mind:
●
Never exceed the weight limits shown. An
overloaded ATV can be unstable.
MAXIMUM LOADING LIMIT
Vehicle loading limit (total weight of
cargo, rider and accessories):
100 kg (220 lbs)
Load 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.
●
Tie down cargo securely to the carriers.
Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot move
around. A shifting load can cause an acci-
dent.
●
Make sure the load does not interfere with
controls or your ability to see where you are
going.
●
Ride more slowly than you would without a
load. The more weight you carry, the slow-
er you should go. Although conditions vary,
it is good practice not to exceed 2nd gear
whenever you are carrying heavier loads or
when towing a trailer.
Allow more braking distance. A heavier ve-
●
hicle takes longer to stop.
●
Avoid making sharp turns unless at very
slow speeds.
Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose ter-
●
rain carefully. Added weight affects the sta-
bility and handling of the ATV.
