Trailering And Towing; Transporting Trv - Arctic Cat 2010 400 H1 TRV Operator's Manual

TRAILERING AND
TOWING
! WARNING
Never use the front rack or rear
backrest support as towing or
trailering points.
The TRV is equipped with a frame-
mounted receiver for a standard 5.1 cm
(2 in.) receiver hitch. The standard
receiver hitch must be purchased sepa-
rately.
! WARNING
Make sure that the load in the
trailer is properly secured and will
not shift while moving. Also, do not
overload the trailer.
When loading a trailer properly, two
items are critical: Gross Trailer Weight
(the weight of the trailer plus cargo)
and Trailer Tongue Weight.
! WARNING
Never exceed any of the recom-
mended weight restrictions.
Trailer Tongue Weight is the down-
ward 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. When
towing a trailer, always maintain slow
speed and allow more stopping dis-
tance than when not towing a trailer.
! WARNING
Riding an ATV without extra caution
when towing a trailer will be hazard-
ous. Trailer towing can affect the
handling and braking of the ATV.
Never tow a trailer without a rigid
tongue and never exceed 10 mph.
Avoid sudden accelerations and
stopping of the ATV. Do not make
quick maneuvers. Avoid uneven sur-
faces and do not tow on hills. Never
carry passengers in a trailer unless
the trailer is designed for such use.
Allow more stopping distance than
when not towing a trailer.

TRANSPORTING TRV

738-424A
When transporting the ATV, Arctic Cat
recommends that the ATV be in its nor-
mal operating position (on all four
wheels) and the following procedure be
used.
1. Engage the brake lever lock.
2. Secure the ATV with load rated
hold-down straps.
 NOTE: Suitable hold-down straps
are available from your Arctic Cat
ATV dealer. Ordinary rope is not rec-
ommended because it can stretch
under load.
