The front rack and rear rack are designed
to carry specified load capacities. Always
refer to the ATV Load Capacity Ratings
Chart for proper capacities.
! WARNING

rear racks will not interfere with the
ATV controls or obstruct the view of
the operator. Also, make sure the
loads are evenly distributed, prop-
erly secured, and will not shift while
operating the ATV.

Never use the racks as a towing or
trailering point.

receiver and a standard 50 mm ball hitch.

When loading a trailer properly, two
items are critical: Gross Trailer Weight
(the weight of the trailer plus cargo) and
Trailer Tongue Weight.
! WARNING
Make sure that the load in the trailer
is properly secured and will not shift
while moving. Also, do not overload
the trailer.
! WARNING
Never exceed any of the ATV weight
restrictions.
Trailer Tongue Weight is the downward
force exerted on the hitch by the trailer cou-
pler when the trailer is fully loaded and the
coupler is at its normal towing height. Refer
to the Load Capacity Ratings Chart for
tongue weight information.
Always maintain a slow speed when
trailering and towing and avoid sudden
accelerations, quick maneuvers, and sud-
den stops. Braking distance will be
affected when towing a trailer. When
towing a trailer, always maintain slow
speed and allow more stopping distance
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.
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
and has a rigid tow bar. Allow more
stopping distance than when not
towing a trailer.

When transporting the ATV, Arctic Cat rec-
ommends that the ATV be in its normal
operating position (on all four wheels) and
