To reduce risk of injury or machine damage when carrying loads, read and
follow the warnings listed below:
· REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCES FOR BRAKING
WHEN CARRYING CARGO.
·CARGO WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION should be 1/3 on the front rack and 2/3
on the rear rack. When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and
cargo to maintain stable driving conditions. Carrying loads on one rack only
increases the possibility of vehicle tipping over.
·HEAVY LOADS CAN CAUSE BRAKING AND CONTROL PROBLEMS.
Use extreme caution when applying brakes with a loaded vehicle. Avoid
terrain or situations which may require backing downhill.
·ALL LOADS MUST BE CARRIED AS LOW ON THE RACKS AS
POSSIBLE. Carrying loads high on the racks raises the center of gravity of the
vehicle and creates a less stable operating condition. When cargo loads are
carried high on the racks, the weight of the loads must be reduced to maintain
stable operating conditions.
·LOADS MUST BE CARRIED AS LOW ON THE RACKS AS POSSIBLE.
Carrying loads high on the racks raises the center of gravity of the vehicle and
creates a less stable operating condition. When cargo loads are carried high on
the racks, the weight of the loads must be reduced to maintain stable operating
conditions.
·OPERATE ONLY WITH STABLE AND SAFELY ARRANGED LOADS.
Avoid handling off-centered loads which cannot be centered.
·EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED. Avoid operating with loads
extending over the rack sides. Stability and maneuverability may be adversely
affected, causing the vehicle to overturn.
· DO NOT BLOCK THE HEADLIGHT/TAILLIGHT AND THE
REFLECTORS when carrying loads on the racks.
·DO NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE RECOMMENDED SPEEDS.
Vehicle should never exceed 10 mph (16 km/h) while towing a load on a level
grass surface. Vehicle speed should never exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when towing
loads in rough terrain, while cornering, or while ascending or descending a
hill.
