Transporting; Gasoline-Oil-Lubricant - Tracker Off-Road 600 Operator'smanual

When loading a trailer properly, two
items are critical: Gross Trailer Weight
(the weight of the trailer plus cargo) and
Trailer Tongue Weight.
! WARNING
Make sure that the load in the trailer
is properly secured and will not shift
while the ATV is moving. Also, do not
overload the trailer.
! WARNING
Never exceed any of the ATV weight
restrictions.
Trailer Tongue Weight is the downward
force exerted on the hitch by the trailer
coupler when the trailer is fully loaded
and the coupler is at its normal towing
height. Refer to the Load Capacity Rat-
ings chart for tongue weight information.
Always maintain a low speed when trail-
ering and towing. Avoid sudden accelera-
tion, quick maneuvers, and sudden stops.
Braking will be affected when towing a
trailer; allow more stopping distance.
! WARNING
Use extra caution when towing a
trailer. Never tow a trailer without a
rigid tongue. Never exceed 10 mph (16
km/h). Avoid uneven surfaces. Do not
tow on hills.
! WARNING
Only tow people when towing a dis-
abled vehicle with operable brakes
and steering or on a trailer designed
for passengers that has a rigid tow
bar.

Transporting

When transporting the ATV, the ATV
must be in its normal operating position
(on all four wheels) and the following pro-
cedure must be used.
1. Engage the brake lever lock and place
the transmission in park.
CAUTION
Failure to engage the brake lever
lock and place the transmission in
park could result in the ATV rolling
off the trailer in the event of tie-down
strap failure.

2. Secure the ATV with load rated hold-
down straps.

NOTE: Suitable hold-down straps
are available from your authorized
dealer. Ordinary rope is not recom-
mended because it can stretch
under load.
CAUTION
If using additional hold-down straps
in any other areas, care must be
taken not to damage the ATV.
Gasoline—Oil—Lubricant
Filling Gas Tank
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-ven-
tilated area. Never add gasoline to
the ATV gas tank near any open
flames or with the engine running or
hot. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the
gas tank.
Since gasoline expands as its temperature
increases, the gas tank must be filled to
its rated capacity only. Expansion room
must be maintained in the tank particu-
larly if the tank is filled with cold gaso-
line and then moved to a warm area.
