Your ATV has been designed to carry a certain amount of load. CARGO
WEIGHT should be evenly distributed(1/3 on the front and 2/3 on the rear )
and mounted as low as possible. When operating over rough or hilly terrain,
reduce speed and cargo to maintain stable driving conditions. Never exceed
the weights specified in your Owner's Manual.
Improper loading of the front rack can obstruct the headlight beam, reducing
night visibility. Do not obstruct the headlight beam with cargo.
Use of low forward gear is recommended in heavy pulling situations to
extend belt life.

operating characteristics. Overloading or incorrect positioning of the load

follow the warnings listed below:
