Special Precautions For Carrying A Qtac On Ride-On Atvs Or Side-By-Side Utvs - QTAC EMS-F Owner's Manual

Special Precautions For Carrying a QTAC On Ride-On ATVs Or Side-By-
Side UTVs
• Ensure that the area to which you are securing your QTAC is an approved
loading area for your ATV or UTV.
• Ensure that the weight of your QTAC does not exceed the maximum
recommended weight of the ATV or UTV loading area to which you are securing
your QTAC.
• The additional weight of your QTAC may result in a.) Poor steering response
and/or b.) An increased inclination for the wheels of the ATV or UTV to lift off the
ground. Therefore, the operator should spend some time operating the vehicle in
a safe area (e.g. wide and flat) once the QTAC has been properly secured and
loaded to ensure the vehicle operates in a safe manner. If the vehicle does not
operate in a safe manner, immediately recheck the GVWR calculations to ensure
that the QTAC unit is not overloading your vehicle. If the unsafe operation cannot
be corrected, do not carry your QTAC in this fashion.
• When carrying your QTAC unit on the rear rack of an ATV or in the bed of a UTV,
avoid steep side slopes. If an uphill must be traversed, it is recommend that you
back your ATV or UTV up the uphill to avoid the front wheels lifting on the uphill.
