Loading and Operational Guidelines
Carrying cargo or pulling a trailer will affect how your FOURTRAX
handles and greatly reduce its ability in accelerating, braking and
making turns and other maneuvers.
Be sure to observe the weight limits and follow these guidelines:
1.
Do not place cargo anywhere on the FOURTRAX other than on the
front and rear racks. Otherwise, operating stability may be ad-
versely affected.
2.
Never ride with a passenger on the front or rear cargo racks. The
FOURTRAX is not designed to carry a passenger.
3.
Do not tow another vehicle or a trailer with a rope or cable
attached to the rear rack. Use the trailer hitch.
4.
Load cargo on the rear rack as far forward as possible. Make sure
cargo on the front rack does not interfere with handlebar move-
ment.
5.
Do not allow cargo to extend beyond the edges of either the front
or rear racks.
6.
Make sure all cargo is secured before riding.
7.
When towing a trailer, take care to maintain balance and stability.
Distribute cargo between the front and rear of the trailer to obtain
the recommended tongue weight.
Tongue weight can be measured with an ordinary bathroom scale.
Place the scale under the tongue, using either a tongue jack or other
support to keep the trailer level.
8.
Allow extra room for starting, stopping and turning whenever you
carry cargo or pull a trailer.
9.
Avoid riding on steep slopes when carrying cargo or pulling a
trailer.
10.
Never cross a slope when towing a trailer.
