WARNING
Indicates a potential hazard that, if not avoided, could result in serious
injury or death.
WARNING
The vehicle handling, stability and braking distance are affected when
loading racks and using the vehicle. Correct loading and weight distribu-
tion are therefore important. Never overload, tow or carry cargo improp-
erly. Always ensure the cargo is safely secured and properly distributed
on the rack(s) before operating the vehicle. Safely reduce speed when car-
rying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for breaking. Always
secure cargo as low as possible on the rack(s) to reduce the effect of a
higher center of gravity. Failure to follow the recommendations here could
cause changes in vehicle handling which could lead to an accident result-
ing in severe injuries including the possibility of death.
