Trailering and Towing
WARNING
Never use the cargo racks as a towing or trailering point.
Your ARGO ATV is equipped with a frame-mounted receiver for a standard 2 inch
(5.1 cm) receiver hitch. A standard receiver hitch must be purchased separately.
When loading a trailer properly, two items are
critical. Gross Trailer Weight (the weight of the
trailer PLUS the weight of the cargo) and Trailer
Tongue Weight. See the Specication section.
WARNING
Ensure the load in the trailer is properly secured and will not shift while moving. Also,
do not overload the trailer’s capacity.
WARNING
NEVER EXCEED ANY OF THE ATVs 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 Specications section of this manual 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 aected
when towing a trailer. When towing a trailer, always maintain slow speed and allow
for more stopping distance than when not towing a trailer.
WARNING
Riding your ATV while towing a trailer requires extreme caution or the activity will
be hazardous. Trailer towing will aect the handling and braking of your ATV. You
should only tow at low speeds and never exceed 10 MPH. Avoid sudden accelerations
and stopping. Do not make quick maneuvers. Avoid uneven surfaces and do not tow
on hills. Never carry passengers in a trailer unless the trailer is designed for use and
has a rigid tow bar. Allow for more stopping distance when towing a trailer.
