Rack Loading (Front and
Rear)
The front rack and rear rack are designed
to carry specified load capacities. Always
refer to the ATV Load Capacity Ratings
chart for proper capacities.
Trailering and Towing
Trailer Tongue Weight is the downward
force exerted on the hitch by the trailer
coupler when the trailer is fully loaded
and the coupler is at its normal towing
height. Refer to the Load Capacity Rat-
ings chart for tongue weight information.
Always maintain a slow speed when
trailering and towing and avoid sudden
accelerations, quick maneuvers, and sud-
den stops. Braking distance will be
affected when towing a trailer. When
towing a trailer, always maintain slow
speed and allow more stopping distance
than when not towing a trailer.
Transporting ATV
When transporting the ATV, it must be in
its normal operating position (on all four
wheels) and the following procedure
must be used.
1. Engage the brake lever lock and
place the transmission in gear.
2. Secure the ATV with load rated
hold-down straps.
NOTE: Suitable hold-down straps
are available from your authorized
dealer. Ordinary rope is not recom-
mended because it can stretch under
load.
! WARNING
Make sure the seat is secure before
mounting the ATV. Severe personal
injury may result if the seat is not
properly secured.
! WARNING
Make sure the loads on the front and
rear racks will not interfere with the
ATV controls or obstruct the view of
the operator. Also, make sure the
loads are evenly distributed, properly
secured, and will not shift while oper-
ating the ATV.
! WARNING
Never use the racks as a towing or
trailering point.
! WARNING
Riding an ATV without extra caution
when towing a trailer will be hazard-
ous. Trailer towing can affect the han-
dling and braking of the ATV. Never
tow a trailer without a rigid tongue
and never exceed 10 mph. Avoid sud-
den accelerations and stopping of the
ATV. Do not make quick maneuvers.
Avoid uneven surfaces and do not tow
on hills.
! WARNING
Never tow people in or on any device
except when towing a disabled vehicle
with operable brakes and steering or
on a trailer designed for passengers
that has a rigid tow bar.
CAUTION
Failure to engage the brake lever lock
and place the transmission in gear
could result in the ATV rolling off the
trailer in the event of tie-down strap
failure.
