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.
•
Loading the bed of your ATV or UTV may affect steering response. 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 recommended that
you back your ATV or UTV up the uphill to avoid the front wheels lifting on the
uphill.
