Load Distribution

Your ATV has been designed to carry or tow a certain amount of load.
Always read and understand the load distribution warnings listed on
the warning labels, and never exceed the specified weights.
Cargo weight should be mounted as low as possible. When operating
over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to maintain stable
driving conditions.
1. Always load the cargo box with the load as far forward as possible.
2. Always operate the vehicle with extreme caution whenever hauling
or towing loads. Balance, handling, and control may be affected.
3. Slow down.
4. The cargo box dump latch must be securely latched before loading
and operating. Unintentional box tilting will result if weight is
placed in the rear of the box and the latch is not secured.
Maximum Towing Capacities
Do not exceed the following maximum capacities when towing.
Maximum grade while trailer towing is 15°. Do not tow any trailer on
a grade steeper than 15°.
