11. CARRYING LOADS

Your ATV has been designed to carry a certain amount of load. CARGO WEIGHT

should be evenly distributed (1/3 on the front and 2/3 on the rear) and mounted as low

as possible. When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo

weight to maintain stable driving conditions. Never exceed the weights specified in

your Owner’s Manual.

Maximum trailer weight--450 lbs. (200 kg) on level ground. Maximum vertical hitch

weight--25 lbs. (11 kg).

Improper loading of the front rack can obstruct the headlight beam, reducing night

visibility. Do not obstruct the headlight beam with cargo.

Use of low forward gear is recommended in heavy pulling situations to extend
belt life.

WARNING

Correct loading of this vehicle is necessary to maintain proper stability and operating

characteristics. Overloading or incorrect positioning of the load affects the vehicle’s

turning, stopping distance and stability. Failure to follow loading requirements could

cause severe injury or death.
