Loading

Cargo or a trailer can change the stability and

handling of an ATV.

You must use common sense and good judg-

ment when carrying cargo or towing a trailer.

Keep the following points in mind:

●

Never exceed the weight limits shown. An

overloaded ATV can be unstable.

●

Do not exceed the maximum tongue

weight. You can measure tongue weight

with a bathroom scale. Put the tongue of

the loaded trailer on the scale with the

tongue at hitch height. Adjust the load in the

trailer, if necessary, to reduce the weight on

hitch.

If you are carrying cargo and towing a trail-

er, include the tongue weight in the maxi-

mum vehicle load limit.

●

Load cargo on the carrier as close to the

center of the vehicle as possible. Put cargo

at the rear of the front carrier and at the

front of the rear carrier. Center the load

from side to side.

●

Tie down cargo securely to the carriers.

Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot move

around. A shifting load can cause an acci-

dent.

●

Make sure the load does not interfere with

controls or your ability to see where you are

going.
