2. To lock the seat into position, slide the front of the seat into the
seat retainers and push down firmly on the rear of seat. The seat
should automatically lock into position.
Safety Flag Bracket
A bracket is provided for mounting a flag at the rear of the ATV.
Trailering and Towing
Arctic Cat ATV’s are equipped with
a frame-mounted receiver for a stan-
dard 5.1 cm (2 in.) receiver hitch.
The standard receiver hitch must be
purchased separately.
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 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 Ratings chart for
tongue weight information.
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 distance than
when not towing a trailer.
Transporting
When transporting the ATV, the ATV 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.
! WARNING
Make sure the seat is secure before mounting the ATV. Serious
injury may result if the seat is not properly secured.
! WARNING
Never use the racks as a towing or trailering point.
! 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 ATV weight restrictions.

! WARNING
Riding an ATV without extra caution when towing a trailer will
be hazardous. Trailer towing can affect the handling and brak-
ing of the ATV. Never tow a trailer without a rigid tongue and
never exceed 10 MPH. Avoid sudden accelerations and stop-
ping 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.
