Bad Boy Onslaught 550 EFI 4X4 Owner's Manual page 45

WARNING!
Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while driving this ATV. You increase your chance
of an accident.
Pre-operation checks
Always inspect your ATV each time you use it to make sure the ATV is in safe operating condition.
Perform the pre-operation checks listed on this manual. Always follow the inspection and
maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Owner's Manual.
WARNING!
Failure to inspect the ATV before operating it and to maintain it properly increases the
possibility of accident or equipment damage.
Loading and accessories
WARNING!
Improper loading or towing can increase the risk of loss of control, an overturn or other
accident. To reduce the risk of an accident:
 Do not exceed the maximum loading limits for the vehicle.
 Keep weight on racks centered side to side and as low as possible. Be sure cargo is
secured- a loose load could change the vehicle handling unexpectedly.
 Make sure the load does not interfere with your control or ability to see where you are
going.
 Tie down cargo in the trailer securely. Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot move around.
A shifting load can cause an accident.
 Reduce speed and allow more room to stop. A heavier vehicle takes longer to stop.
 Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose terrain carefully. Use extreme caution when towing
or carrying a load on inclines.
 Turn gradually and go slowly.
Take extra precautions when driving with a load or trailer. Follow these instructions and always use
common sense and good judgment when carrying cargo or towing a trailer.
MAXIMUM LOADING LIMIT
Front carrier: 99 lbs (45 kg)
Rear carrier: 165 lbs (75 kg)
Trailer max weight: 1225 lbs. (557 kg) on level ground
Hitch max vertical weight: 120 lbs. (55 kg)
Drive more slowly than you would without a load. The more weight you carry, the slower you
should go. It is good practice to drive slowly (shift into first gear or low drive if available on this
model) whenever you are carrying heavier loads or when towing a trailer.
