Trailer Hitch - KYMCO MXU 270i EURO Manual

TRAILER HITCH

Never use the cargo racks as a towing or trailering point.
Your KYMCO ATV is equipped with a frame-mounted receiver
for a standard 5.1 cm (2 in.) receiver hitch. A standard receiver
hitch must be purchased separately.
When loading a trailer properly, two items are critical: Gross
Trailer Weight (the weight of the trailer plus cargo) and Trailer
Tongue Weight.
Make sure that the load in the trailer is properly secured
and will not shift while moving. Also, do not overload the
trailer's capacity.

NEVER EXCEED ANY OF THE ATV'S WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS
Trailer Tongue Weight is the downward force exerted on the
hitch by the trailer coupler when the trailer is fully loaded and
the coupler is at its normal towing height.
Always maintain a slow speed when trailering and towing, and
avoid sudden accelerations, quick maneuvers, and sudden
stops. Braking distance will be affected when towing a trailer,
always maintain slow speed and allow for more stopping
distance than when not towing a trailer.
Riding your ATV when towing a trailer requires extreme
caution or the activity will be hazardous. Trailer towing will
affect the handling and braking of your ATV. You should
only tow at low speeds and never exceed 10 mph. Avoid
sudden accelerations and stopping. Do not make quick
maneuvers. Avoid uneven surfaces and do not tow on hills.
Never carry passengers in a trailer unless the trailer is
designed for such use and has a rigid tow bar. Allow for
more stopping distance when towing a trailer.
