When pulling loads with a chain or cable, ensure that there is no slack before
starting and maintain tension while pulling.
When pulling loads with a chain or cable, be sure to brake progressively. The in-
ertia of the load could lead to an impact.
When hauling a load, respect the maximum hauling capacity. See Pulling a
Trailer below.

When pulling another vehicle, be sure that someone is controlling the pulled ve-
hicle. They must brake and steer to prevent the vehicle from going out of control.
Before pulling loads with a winch, refer to the winch manufacturer's instructions.
Reduce your speed when hauling a load and turn gradually. Avoid hills and rough
terrain. Never attempt steep hills. Allow more distance for braking, especially on
inclined surfaces and when a passenger is on board. Be careful not to skid or
slide.

Riding this vehicle with a trailer substantially increases the risk of toppling, espe-
cially on inclined slopes. If a trailer is used behind the vehicle make sure that its
hitch is compatible with the one on the vehicle. Make sure the trailer is horizontal
with the vehicle. (In some instances a special extension may have to be installed
on the vehicle hitch). Use security chains or cables to secure the trailer with the
vehicle.
Reduce your speed when pulling a trailer and turn gradually. Avoid hills and
rough terrain. Never attempt steep hills. Allow more distance for braking, espe-
cially on inclined surfaces and when a passenger is on board. Be careful not to
skid or slide.
Improperly loading a trailer may cause loss of control.
Always make sure load is evenly distributed and safely secured on the trailer; an
evenly balanced trailer is easier to control.
Always put the shift lever to L (low range) for hauling a trailer – in addition to pro-
viding more torque, operating in low range helps account for the increased load
on the rear tires.
When stopped or parked, block the vehicle and trailer wheels from possible
movement.
Use caution when disconnecting a loaded trailer; it or its load may topple on you
or others.
