Carrying Loads/Passenger; Hauling A Trailer; Working With Your Vehicle - BOMBARDIER outlander max series Operator's Manual

Carrying Loads/Passenger

Any load carried on the vehicle's carrying rack(s) will affect the stability and control of the vehicle.
For this reason, do not exceed the load limits of the vehicle manufacturer. Always make sure
the load is secured and cannot interfere with your proper control. Always be aware that the "load"
may slide or fall off and create an accident. Avoid loads that may protrude sideways and get
snagged or caught in brush or other obstacles. Avoid covering and obstructing the headlamp or
brake lamp with the cargo. Always make sure any storage compartment latches are closed. If a
removable compartment cover is removed to carry a load, make sure that the load is secure and
that smaller objects cannot "fly out". Secure compartment covers.
This vehicle is designed specifically to carry an operator and ONE passenger only. The passen-
ger must be seated on the designated passenger's seat and hold on to the grab handles at all
times. Do not install other passenger's seat other than the one recommended by BRP. Do not
use the racks or their location to carry passenger(s). Carrying more than one passenger may
affect the stability and your control of the vehicle. When the convertible rack is installed (in place
of a rear seat), the vehicle becomes a ONE-RIDER vehicle and NO PASSENGER must be
allowed on it.

Hauling a Trailer

Riding this vehicle with a trailer substantially increases the risk of toppling, especially on inclined
slopes. If a trailer is used behind the vehicle make sure that its hitch is compatible with the one
on the vehicle. Make sure the trailer is horizontal with the vehicle. (In some instances a special
extension may have to be installed on the vehicle hitch). Use security chains to secure the trailer
with the vehicle. This vehicle may require additional stopping distance if hauling heavy loads,
especially on inclined surfaces and when a passenger is on board. Be careful not to skid or slide.
When stopped or parked, block the vehicle and trailer wheels from possible movement. Always
make sure load is evenly distributed on the trailer. Use caution when disconnecting a loaded
trailer; it or its load may topple on you or others. Do not turn at high speeds. Always use low
gear range and slow down a lot.

Working with Your Vehicle

Your vehicle can help you perform a number of different LIGHT tasks ranging from snow removal
to pulling wood or carrying cargo. A variety of accessories are available from your authorized
Bombardier ATV dealer. However, always respect the load and capacities of the vehicle. Over-
loading of the vehicle can overstress the components and cause failure. To prevent possible
injury, it is equally important to follow the instructions and warnings that accompany the acces-
sory. Avoid any physical exertion through lifting or pulling of heavy loads or manpowering the
vehicle. (Continue to read RECREATIONAL RIDING below).
