11. CARRYING LOADS
Important Safeguards
To reduce risk of injury or machine damage when carrying loads,
read and follow the warnings listed below:
l REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATED DISTANCE FOR
BRAKING WHEN CARRYING CARGO.
l CARGO WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION should be 1/3 on the front
rack and 2/3 on the rear rack. When operating over rough or
hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to maintain stable
driving conditions. Carrying loads on one rack only increases
the possibility of vehicle tip over.
l HEAVY LOADS CAN CAUSE BRAKING AND CONTROL
PROBLEMS. Use extreme caution when applying brakes
with a loaded vehicle. Avoid terrain or situations which may
require backing downhill.
l ALL LOADS MUST BE CARRINED AS LOW ON THE
RACKS AS POSSIBLE. Carrying loads high on the racks
raise the center of gravity of the vehicle and creates a less
stable operating condition. When cargo loads are carried high
on the racks, the weigh or the loads must be reduced to
maintain stable operating conditions.
l LOADS MUST BE CARRIED AS LOW ON THE RACKS AS
POSSIBLE Carrying loads high on the racks raises the
center or gravity of the vehicle and creates a less stable
operating condition. When cargo load are carried high on the
racks, the weight of the loads must be reduced to maintain
stable operating conditions.
l OPERATE ONLY WITH STABLE AND SAFELY ARRANGED
LOADS. Avoid handling off-centered loads which cannot be
centered. Always attach the tow load to the hitch point
designated for your ATV.
l EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED. Avoid operating with
loads extending over the rack sides. Stability and
maneuverability may be adversely affected, causing the
vehicle to overturn.
l DO NOT BLOCK THE HEADLIGHT/TAILIGHT AND THE
REFLECTORS when carrying loads on the racks.
l DO NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE RECOMMENDED
SPEEDS. Vehicle should never exceed 10 mph (16km/h)
while towing a load on a level grass surface. Vehicle speed
should never exceed 5 mph(8km/h) when towing loads in
rough terrain, while cornering, or while ascending or
descending a hill
