Cargo should be properly distributed and securely attached.
Reduce speed when carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater
distance for braking.
Always follow the instructions in this Operator's Manual for carrying
cargo or pulling a trailer.
Personal Choices
A safe, enjoyable ride is dependent on many personal choices. An
ATV, like all motorized vehicles, can be dangerous to operate if you
choose to ignore safety precautions, take unnecessary 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.
Alcohol and Drug Consumption
Alcohol is related to 30% of
all hospital admissions due
to ATV accidents in the U.S.
This isn't an issue of moral-
ity. It's extremely dangerous
to drink alcoholic beverages and ride... it's also very foolish. When
the alcohol starts kicking in and you're tearing along on your ATV,
those odds can catch up to you.
! WARNING
Substances to avoid when riding:
1. Alcohol
2. Over-the-counter or prescription
drugs
