Towing loads affects the vehicle handling, stability and braking dis-
tance. Appropriate loading and weight distribution are therefore
important.
When towing a load it is very important to follow the
recommendations:
– Always use a rigid tow bar to tow a cargo carrier or an accessory.
– Never tow a load using a rope. Using a rope would result in a colli-
sion between the load and the snowmobile and possibly in a tip
over in case of a rapid deceleration or on a downward slope.
– Never tow a load by attaching it directly to the bumper. Use only
the hitch to tow a load. Make sure that the cargo carrier hitch is
compatible with the one on the vehicle. Use security chains or ca-
bles to secure the cargo carrier with the vehicle. Avoid excessive
slack in the chains or cables, it could break and snap back.
– Never exceed the vehicle maximum tow capacity. Refer to
Safety
Information on the Vehicle
or
Technical Specifications
subsections
for the applicable towing capacity of your snowmobile.
– Never exceed the tongue weight capacity, if applicable.
– Always make sure load is evenly distributed and safely secured on
the cargo carrier. Make sure there is at least some weight on the
tongue, if applicable.
– Always adjust the suspensions according to the weight on the
tongue, if applicable. Refer to
Tune Your Ride
subsection for more
details.
– Reduce your speed and turn gradually. Avoid hills and rough ter-
rain. Riding this vehicle with a cargo carrier substantially increases
the risk of toppling, especially on inclined slopes. Never attempt
steep hills.
