Important Safeguards
To reduce risk of injury or machine damage when carrying
loads, read and follow the warnings listed below:
D REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCE
FOR BRAKING WHEN CARRYING CARGO.
D CARGO WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION should be 1/3 on the
front rack and 2/3 on the rear rack. When operating
over rough or hilly terr ain, reduce speed and cargo to
maintain stable driving conditions. Carrying loads on
one rack only increases the po ssibility of vehicle tip
over.
D HEAV Y LOADS CAN CAUSE BRAKING AND CON-
TROL PROBLEMS. Use extreme caution when apply-
ing brakes with a loaded vehicle. Avoid terrain or situa -
tions which may requir e backing downhill.
D ALL LOADS MUST BE SECURED BEFORE MOVING
VEHICLE. Unsecured loads can create unstable oper-
ating conditions, which could result in loss of control of
the vehicle.
Correct loading of this vehicle is necessary to maintain prop-
er stability and operating characteristics. Overloading or in-
correct positioning of the load affects the vehicle’s turning,
stopping distance and stability. Failure to follow loading re-
quirements could cause severe injury or death.
