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
If your vehicle is equipped to carry loads with optional racks and/or trail-
er hitch approved by BRP , vehicle handling, stability and braking distance
will be affected. Correct loading and weight distribution are therefore im-
portant. Never overload, tow or carry cargo improperly. Always ensure
the cargo is safely secured and properly distributed on the rack(s) before
operating the vehicle. Safely reduce speed according to terrain conditions
when carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for break-
ing. 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 acci-
dent resulting in severe injuries including the possibility of death.
When carrying cargo on the vehicle,
respect these maximum loads.
MAXIMUM LOADS
