bulky object attached to the handlebars which
could make steering difficult, an accessory that

WARNING
Never exceed the stated load capacity for this
ATV. Overloading this ATV or carrying or tow-
ing cargo improperly could cause changes in
ATV handling which could lead to an accident.
Cargo should be properly distributed and se-
curely attached. Reduce speed when carrying
cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater dis-
tance for braking.
As originally equipped, this ATV is not designed to
tow a trailer. If you choose to add accessories so
that you can tow a trailer, you must use common
sense and good judgment as the stability and han-
dling of an ATV can be changed. When adding ac-
cessories, keep the following points in mind:
G
Never exceed the weight limits shown. An over-
loaded ATV can be unstable.
MAXIMUM LOADING LIMIT
ATV loading limit (total weight of rider, cargo,
accessories, and tongue):
105.0 kg (231 lb)
Front carrier:
5.0 kg (11 lb)
Rear carrier:
10.0 kg (22 lb)
G
If you are carrying cargo and towing a trailer, in-
clude the tongue weight in the maximum ATV
load limit.
G
Load cargo on the carriers as close to the center
of the ATV as possible. Put cargo at the rear of
the front carrier, at the front of the rear carrier,
and center it.
G
Tie down cargo securely to the carriers. Make
sure cargo in the trailer cannot move around. A
shifting load can cause an accident.
G
Make sure the load does not interfere with con-
trols or your ability to see where you are going.
G
Ride more slowly than you would without a load.
The more weight you carry, the slower you
should go.
