Carrying Loads - Polaris YOUTH ATV 2001 Owner's Safety And Maintenance Manual

The Sportsman 90 has been designed to carry a certain amount of load. CARGO
WEIGHT should be evenly distributed (1/3 on the front and 2/3 on the rear) and
mounted as low as possible. When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce
speed and cargo to maintain stable driving conditions. Never exceed the weights
specified and never attempt to carry cargo on the Scrambler models.
Correct loading of this vehicle is necessary to maintain proper stability and op-
erating characteristics. Overloading or incorrect positioning of the load affects
the vehicle's turning, stopping distance and stability. Failure to follow loading
requirements could cause severe injury or death.
