MOVING LOADS AND DOING WORK

Working with your Vehicle

Your vehicle can help you perform a number of different LIGHT tasks ranging from
snow removal to pulling wood or carrying cargo. A variety of accessories are avail-
able from your authorized Can-Am dealer. To prevent possible injury, follow the in-
structions and warnings that accompany the accessory. Always respect the load
limits of the vehicle. Overloading the vehicle can overstress the components and
cause failure. Avoid overexerting yourself if you lift or pull heavy loads or manually
push the vehicle.

Carrying Loads

Any load carried on the vehicle will affect the handling, stability and braking
distance of the vehicle. Do not exceed the total load allowed for this vehicle,
including the weight of operator and passenger cargo, accessories and trailer
tongue weight. Refer to
secured, properly distributed and cannot interfere with your controls or lights.
Always be aware that the cargo may slide or fall off and cause an accident. Avoid
loads that may protrude sideways and get snagged or caught in brush or other
obstacles.
Never overload, tow or carry cargo improperly. Safely reduce speed ac-
cording to terrain conditions when carrying cargo or pulling a trailer, and
avoid hills and rough terrain. Allow greater distance for braking, especially
on inclined surfaces. Always secure cargo as low as possible to reduce the
effect of a higher center of gravity. Failure to follow the recommendations
here could cause changes in vehicle handling which could lead to an acci-
dent.
