Never pull a load by attaching it to the bumper; this can cause the vehicle to tip
over. Use only the trailer hitch (if installed) to pull a load.
In an emergency situation, use the recovery hook to recover a stuck vehicle, refer
to Recovery Hooks .
When pulling loads with a chain or cable:
– Ensure that there is no slack before starting and maintain tension while
pulling.
– Be sure to brake progressively. The inertia of the load could lead to an
impact.

When hauling a load, respect the maximum hauling capacity, refer to Pulling a
Trailer .
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.
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 pas-
senger (2-up models) 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,
