Carrying Loads/Passenger; Hauling A Trailer; Working With Your Vehicle - BOMBARDIER 2006 outlander max 400 Operator's Manual

Carrying Loads/Passenger

Any load carried on the vehicle's carrying rack(s) will affect the stability and con-
trol 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 taillight 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 (1) passenger
only. The passenger 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 (1) passenger may affect the stability
and your control of the vehicle. When the storage box is installed (in place of 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, espe-
cially on inclined slopes. If a trailer is used 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 in-
clined 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 possi-
ble 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 re-
spect the load and capacities of the vehicle. Overloading of the vehicle can over-
stress the components and cause failure. To prevent possible injury, it is equally
important to follow the instructions and warnings that accompany the accessory.
Avoid any physical exertion through lifting or pulling of heavy loads or manpow-
ering the vehicle. (Continue to read RECREATIONAL RIDING below).
