WARNING
Slack can cause a chain or cable to break and snap back, possibly causing injury.
• When pulling a load, respect the maximum hauling capacity.
• If pulling another vehicle, be sure that someone is controlling the pulled vehicle. They must brake and
steer to prevent the vehicle from going out of control.
• Reduce your speed when pulling a load and turn gradually to avoid chains, straps, ropes or cables
from catching on the rear wheels. Avoid hills and rough terrain. Never attempt steep hills. Allow more
distance for braking, especially on inclined surfaces. Be careful not to skid or slide.
• Before pulling loads with a winch, refer to the winch Owner’s Manual.
Towing a Load
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. Use safety chains or cables that keep the trailer secured to the
vehicle in the event of a hitch failure.
Improperly loading a trailer may cause loss of control. Respect the recommended maximum hauling capacity
and maximum tongue load. Make sure there is at least some weight on the tongue. Follow these guidelines
for hauling and towing of cargo:
WARNING
Overloading the vehicle, carrying or towing cargo improperly, can alter the vehicle handling and may
cause loss of control or braking instability.
