Loading
As originally equipped, this ATV is not designed
to carry cargo or tow a trailer. If you choose to
add accessories so that you can carry cargo or
tow a trailer, you must use common sense and
good judgment. Keep the following points in
mind:
8 Never exceed the weight limits shown. An
overloaded ATV can be unstable.
MAXIMUM LOADING LIMIT
8 Vehicle loading limit (total weight of
cargo, rider and accessories):
105 kg (231 lb)
8 Front carrier: 5 kg (11 lb)
8 Rear carrier: 10 kg (22 lb)
8 Load cargo on the carriers as close to the
center of the vehicle as possible. Put cargo at
the rear of the front carrier and at the front of
the rear carrier. Center the load from side to
side.
8 Tie down cargo securely to the carriers. Make
sure cargo in the trailer cannot move around.
A shifting load can cause an accident.
8 Make sure the load does not interfere with
controls or your ability to see where you are
going.
8 Ride more slowly than you would without a
load. The more weight you carry, the slower
you should go.
8 Allow more braking distance. A heavier vehi-
cle takes longer to stop.
8 Avoid making sharp turns unless at very slow
speeds.
8 Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose terrain
carefully. Added weight affects the stability
and handling of the ATV.
