aftermarket products or having other modifica-
tions performed to your ATV that change any of
the vehicle's design or operation characteristics
can put you and others at greater risk of serious
injury or death. You are responsible for injuries re-
lated to changes in the vehicle.
Keep the following in mind when considering an
accessory or operating an ATV which has acces-
sories.
 Accessories should be rigidly and securely
mounted. An accessory which can shift position
or come off while you are riding could affect
your ability to control the ATV.
 Do not mount an accessory where it could inter-
fere with your ability to control the ATV. Exam-
ples include (but are not limited to) a heavy or
bulky object attached to the handlebars which
could make steering difficult, an accessory that
limits your ability to move around on the seat, or
one that limits your view.
 Use extra caution when riding an ATV with ac-
cessories. The ATV may handle differently than
it does without accessories.

WARNING
Never exceed the stated load capacity for this
ATV. Overloading this ATV or carrying or tow-

curely attached. Reduce speed when carrying

tance for braking.

trailer, you must use common sense and good
judgment as the stability and handling of an ATV

loaded ATV can be unstable.
