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 dis-
tance of the vehicle. Do not exceed the load limits of the vehicle, including the
weight of operator, passengers, cargo, accessories and trailer tongue weight.
Always be aware that the cargo may slide or fall off and cause an accident.

To reduce the risk to lose control or the load carried, follow these recommenda-
tions.
Vehicle Settings When Carrying Load
NOTE: When carrying heavy loads or passengers readjust suspension accord-
ingly.
NOTE: When carrying heavy loads in cargo box or pulling a loaded trailer, operate
with the shift lever in L (low range).
Loading the Cargo Box
Load cargo as low as possible – a higher load can raise the vehicle's center of
gravity, which can reduce stability. Position cargo toward the front and center of
the cargo box and as evenly distributed as possible.
