Arctic Cat ATV’s are equipped with a

dard 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 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. 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 dis-
tance than when not towing a trailer.
! 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 dis-
tributed, properly secured, and will
not shift while operating the ATV.
! 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.
