load.
When pulling loads with a chain or ca-
ble, ensure that there is no slack before
starting and maintain tension while
pulling.
When hauling a load, respect the maxi-
mum hauling capacity. See

PULLING
A) SAFETY INFORMATION
When pulling another vehicle, be sure
that someone is controlling the pulled
vehicle. They must brake and steer to
prevent the vehicle from going out of
control.
Before pulling loads with a winch, refer
to the winch manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
Reduce your speed when hauling a
load and turn gradually. Avoid hills and
rough terrain. Never attempt steep
hills. Allow more distance for brak-
ing, especially on inclined surfaces and
when a passenger 2-UP models) is on
board. Be careful not to skid or slide.

Check the maximum axle loads of the
vehicle identification plate (statutory

a trailer on the road. Check the trailer,
the maximum loads on the identifica-
tion plate. Check the regulations for
your area regarding the use of a tractor
and trailer on the road. Connect the
trailer lights.
NOTICE

hitch must be properly installed on
the vehicle for hauling trailers.
Riding this vehicle with a trailer sub-
stantially increases the risk of toppling,
especially on inclined slopes. If a trailer
is attached to the vehicle make sure
that its hitch is compatible with the
one on the vehicle. Make sure the
trailer is horizontal with the vehicle. (In
some instances a special extension

hitch). Use security chains or cables to
secure the trailer with the vehicle. This
vehicle may require additional stopping
distance if hauling heavy loads.
