Carrying Loads - BRP Can-Am OUTLANDER 400 EFI 2014 Operator's Manual

2-UP Models
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. NEVER 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 (1-UP model) and NO PASSENGER
must be allowed on it.

Carrying Loads

Any load carried on the vehicle and/or the carrying rack(s) will affect the stability
and braking distance of the vehicle. For this reason, do not exceed the load limits
of the vehicle manufacturer, refer to
make sure the load is secured, properly distributed 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 headlights or taillight
with the cargo.
Safely reduce speed according to terrain conditions when carrying cargo or pulling
a trailer. Allow greater distance for braking. Always secure cargo as low as possi-
ble on the rack(s) to reduce the effect of a higher center of gravity.
The vehicle handling, stability and braking distance are affected when load-
ing racks and using the vehicle. Correct loading and weight distribution
are therefore important. Never overload, tow or carry cargo improperly.
Always ensure the cargo is safely secured and properly distributed on the
rack(s) before operating the vehicle. Safely reduce speed according to
terrain conditions when carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater
distance for braking. Always secure cargo as low as possible on the rack(s)
to reduce the effect of a higher center of gravity. Failure to follow the rec-
ommendations here could cause changes in vehicle handling which could
lead to an accident.
When transporting cargo on the vehicle, respect these maximum loads.
