Accessory Use and Vehicle Loading
Guidelines.
1. The combined weight of the rider,
gear, and any accessories or
cargo must never exceed the vehi-
cle’s load capacity of 38 kg (84
lbs).
2. Check accessory mounting brack-
ets and other attachment hard-
ware to make sure they provide a
rigid, non-movable mount.
3. Accessories added to the handle-
bars of the machine should be as
light as possible. The extra weight
can cause the vehicle to be harder
to steer.
4. Do not add accessories or cargo
which interfere with controls or
other equipment.
5. Do not carry heavy or bulky cargo.
6. Distribute cargo weight evenly
between the front and rear of the
vehicle as well as both sides of
the vehicle. Locate cargo weight
as close to the center of the vehi-
cle as possible.
7. Secure your load well. Shifting
weight can affect your ability to
handle the vehicle safely.
8. Ride at slow speeds and avoid
hills when carrying cargo. Carry-
ing loads can affect the stability
and handling of your ATV.
9. Allow enough stopping distance.
Stopping distance increases when
you carry loads. Use engine brak-
ing as much as possible.
