Hauling a Load
NOTE: hitch must be properly installed on the vehicle for hauling trailers.
Never pull a load by attaching it to the cage; this can cause the vehicle to tip
over. Use only the trailer hitch or winch (if installed) to pull a load.
When pulling loads with a chain or cable, ensure that there is no slack before
starting and maintain tension while pulling.
When pulling loads with a chain or cable, be sure to brake progressively. The
inertia for the load could lead to an impact.
When hauling a load, respect the maximum hauling capacity.
See PULLING A TRAILER subsection.
Slack can cause the chain or cable to break and snap back.
When pulling another vehicle, be sure that someone is controlling the pulled
vehicle. They must brake and steer to prevent the vehicle from going out of
control.
