When pulling another vehicle, be sure that someone is controlling the pulled ve-
hicle. They must brake and steer to prevent the vehicle from going out of control.
Reduce your speed when hauling a load and turn gradually. Avoid hills and rough
terrain. Never attempt steep hills. Allow more distance for braking, especially on
inclined surfaces and when a passenger (2-up models) is on board. Be careful
not to skid or slide.

Riding this vehicle with a trailer substantially increases the risk of toppling, espe-
cially on inclined slopes. If a trailer is used behind the vehicle make sure that its
hitch is compatible with the one on the vehicle. Make sure the trailer is horizontal
with the vehicle. In some instances a special extension may have to be installed
on the vehicle hitch. Use security chains or cables to secure the trailer with the
vehicle.
Reduce your speed when pulling a trailer and turn gradually. Avoid hills and
rough terrain. Never attempt steep hills. Allow more distance for braking, espe-
cially on inclined surfaces and when a passenger (2-up models) is on board. Be
careful not to skid or slide.
This vehicle may require additional stopping distance if hauling heavy loads, es-
pecially on inclined surfaces and when a passenger (2–UP models) is on board.
Improperly loading a trailer may cause a loss of control.
Do not exceed the towing capacity or tongue capacity. Refer to Technical
Specifications .
Make sure there is at least some weight on the tongue.
Always make sure load is evenly distributed and safely secured on the trailer; an
evenly balanced trailer is easier to control.
