TRAILERING AND 

TOWING

The TRV is equipped with a frame-

mounted receiver for a standard 5.1 cm

(2 in.) receiver hitch. The standard

receiver hitch must be purchased sepa-

rately.

738-424A

When loading a trailer properly, two

items are critical: Gross Trailer Weight

(the weight of the trailer plus cargo)

and Trailer Tongue Weight.

Trailer Tongue Weight is the down-

ward force exerted on the hitch by the

trailer coupler when the trailer is fully

loaded and the coupler is at its normal

towing height. 

Always maintain a slow speed when

trailering and towing and avoid sudden

accelerations, quick maneuvers, and

sudden stops. Braking distance will be

affected when towing a trailer. When

towing a trailer, always maintain slow

speed and allow more stopping dis-

tance than when not towing a trailer.

TRANSPORTING TRV

When transporting the ATV, Arctic Cat

recommends that the ATV be in its nor-

mal operating position (on all four

wheels) and the following procedure be

used.

1. Engage the brake lever lock.

2. Secure the ATV with load rated

hold-down straps.

NOTE: Suitable hold-down straps

are available from your Arctic Cat
ATV dealer. Ordinary rope is not rec-
ommended because it can stretch
under load.

! WARNING

Never use the front rack or rear
backrest support as towing or
trailering points.

! WARNING

Make sure that the load in the
trailer is properly secured and will
not shift while moving. Also, do not
overload the trailer.

! WARNING

Never exceed any of the recom-
mended weight restrictions.

! WARNING

Riding an ATV without extra caution
when towing a trailer will be hazard-
ous. Trailer towing can affect the
handling and braking of the ATV.
Never tow a trailer without a rigid
tongue and never exceed 10 mph.
Avoid sudden accelerations and
stopping of the ATV. Do not make
quick maneuvers. Avoid uneven sur-
faces and do not tow on hills. Never
carry passengers in a trailer unless
the trailer is designed for such use.
Allow more stopping distance than
when not towing a trailer.
