could make steering difficult, an accessory that
limits your ability to move around on the seat, or
one that limits your view.
G Use extra caution when riding an ATV with ac-

it does without accessories.

Loading
Cargo or a trailer can change the stability and han-
dling of an ATV.
You must use common sense and good judgment
when carrying cargo. Keep the following points in
mind:
G
Never exceed the weight limits shown. An over-
loaded ATV can be unstable.
MAXIMUM LOADING LIMIT
ATV loading limit (total weight of rider, cargo,
and accessories):
196.0 kg (432 lb)
Front carrier:
40.0 kg (88 lb)
Rear carrier:
80.0 kg (176 lb)
Storage compartment:
2.0 kg (4 lb)
NOTE:
Never exceed the maximum tongue weight (verti-
cal weight on trailer hitch point) of 147 N (33 lbf)
(15 kgf). When the ATV is registered and has been
issued a license plate, it is prohibited to tow more
than 50% of the ATV's curb weight.
G
Do not exceed the maximum tongue weight.
You can measure tongue weight with a bath-
room scale. Put the tongue of the loaded trailer
on the scale with the tongue at hitch height. Ad-
just the load in the trailer, if necessary, to reduce
the weight on the hitch. If you are carrying cargo
and towing a trailer, include the tongue weight in
the maximum ATV load limit.
G
Load cargo on the carriers as close to the center
of the ATV as possible. Put cargo at the rear of
the front carrier, at the front of the rear carrier,
and center it.
G Tie down cargo securely to the carriers. Make
sure cargo in the trailer cannot move around. A
shifting load can cause an accident.
G
Make sure the load does not interfere with con-
trols or your ability to see where you are going.
G
Ride more slowly than you would without a load.
The more weight you carry, the slower you
should go.
