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.

Loading the Cargo Box
NOTICE
When loading or unloading, do not exceed the maximum cargo ca-
pacity.
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.
