TRAILERING AND
TOWING
! WARNING
Never use the racks as a towing or
trailering point.
This ATV is equipped with a frame-
mounted receiver and a standard 5.1 cm
(2 in.) receiver hitch.
CR010A
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
coupler 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
sudden 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.
