Using A Winch To Pull Vehicle Onto Trailering Equipment; Securing Vehicle For Transport - BRP Can-Am COMMANDER 2021 Series Operator's Manual

1. Wear protective gear.
2. Fasten seat belt.
3. Use low gear only (if equipped).
4. If vehicle has 4WD option, use it.
5. When driving remain seated at all
times.
6. Ensure proper alignment on rails
or platform.
7. Start from a sufficient distance
from the trailer to align the vehicle
in a straight line with the ramps.
Never attempt to turn while getting
closer to the ramp. Rear wheels
might not be aligned once you get
to the ramp and vehicle may fall
off.
8. Slowly climb the front wheels onto
the ramp to verify alignment.
9. Back off the vehicle, verify ramps
are still secure, then proceed at
proper speed.
10. Carefully drive vehicle onto plat-
form or trailer. Use sufficient speed
to climb without
abruptly accelerating. Avoid accel-
eration while on ramps to prevent
ramps movement.
11. If trailer is inclined towards front,
simply let vehicle roll in without
acceleration.
12. Once vehicle is climbed, put shift
lever to Park. Apply brake locking
mechanism (if equipped).
