Tread Lightly and leave the environment as you found it.

EQUIPMENT
The last thing you would expect is that your KYMCO UTV would
break down in the middle of a field. KYMCO products are usually
so reliable that sometimes you forget that your UTV, like any
machine, has service needs and usage limitations.
UTV MAINTENANCE
You have to maintain your UTV for your safety, its operational
integrity and to protect your investment. The General Mainte-
nance section of this Owner's Manual tells you how to take care of
your UTV. If at any time abnormal noises, vibrations, or improper
operation of any component on your UTV is detected, DO NOT
OPERATE YOUR UTV. Take your UTV to an authorized KYMCO
dealer for inspection, adjustment or repair.
CARGO LIMITATIONS
One of the reasons why multiple passengers are prohibited on
UTVs is because their presence disrupts the weight and balance of
the vehicle. Cargo will do the same if it weighs too much or is
positioned improperly. Limit your UTV to the load capacity ratings
identified in the chart on the following page. So if you, your
passenger and your load weighs over 793 lb (360 kg), leave some
of that extra cargo at home. The com- bined weight limit, including
you, your passenger, your UTV's bed cargo, and your trailer, is a
specific amount, so consult the UTV Load Capacity Ratings Chart
and adjust your load accordingly.

Cargo has such a significant affect on UTV handling that you need to
adjust your speed to match your load. Even on level ground, you
should keep your UTV's speed below 10 MPH (16 kph) if you are
towing a trailer. Avoid uneven terrain when towing a trailer. Do not
forget that your braking distance is going to increase as you carry
more weight or if you tow a trailer.
Think about these factors when dealing with cargo:
1. Cargo bed weight limit
2. Trailer weight limit
3. Weight distribution
4. UTV speed
PERSONAL CHOICES
A safe, enjoyable UTV drive is dependent on many personal choices.
A UTV, like all motorized vehicles, can be dangerous to operate if you
choose to ignore safety precautions, take un- necessary chances, or
ride beyond your ability or your machine's capability. Don't allow the
thrill of freedom or adventure to affect your ability to make good, safe
choices.
