GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR)
WARNING
Exceeding the gross vehicle weight rating of your vehicle can reduce stability
and handling and could cause loss of control. NEVER exceed the GVWR of
your vehicle.
The maximum payload capacity of your vehicle is the maximum weight you may
add to your vehicle without exceeding the GVWR. This capacity is determined
by calculating the difference between your vehicle’s GVWR and wet weight.
Refer to the specification section of this manual or the Manufacturer’s Label on
the vehicle for model-specific information.
When determining the weight, you will be adding to your vehicle, and to ensure
you do not exceed the maximum payload capacity, include the following:
• operator body weight
• passenger body weight
• weight of all occupants’ apparel and items in or on apparel
• weight of any options or accessories and their contents
• weight of any additional cargo on the vehicle
EQUIPMENT MODIFICATIONS
Never install any accessory that grounds to the vehicle chassis. The
chassis is a floating ground to protect against electrical short circuits and
hazards.
Do not install any non-GEM-approved accessory or modify the vehicle including
for the purpose of increasing speed or power.
The warranty on your GEM vehicle may be voided if any non-GEM-approved
equipment and/or modifications have been added to the vehicle.
WARNING
Any modifications or installation of non-GEM-approved accessories could
create a substantial safety hazard and increase the risk of bodily injury.
The addition of certain accessories, including (but not limited to) mowers,
blades, tires, sprayers, or large racks, may change the handling characteristics
of the vehicle. Use only GEM-approved accessories, and familiarize yourself
with their function and effect on the vehicle.
