Loading
Overloading this ATV or carrying or towing
cargo improperly could cause changes in
the ATV handling which could lead to an
accident.
Remember the following
：
●
Never exceed the stated load capacity
for the ATV
MAXIMUM LOADING LIMIT
●
Vehicle loading limit (total weight of cargo,
rider and accessories, and tongue
weight): 518 lbs (235kg)
●
Front carrier: 44 lbs (20 kg)

Rear carrier: 77 lbs (35 kg)
●
Trailer hitch:
Pulling load (total weight of trailer and
cargo): 1,212 lbf (550kgf)
Tongue weight (vertical weight on trailer
hitch point): 66 lbf (30 kgf)
●
Load cargo on the carriers as close to
the center of the vehicle as possible. Put
the cargo at the rear of the front carrier
and at the front of the rear carrier.
Center the load from side to side.
●
Tie down cargo securely to the carriers.
Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot
move around. A shifting load can cause

with controls or your ability to see where

without a load. The more weight you
carry, the slower you should go.

whenever you are carrying heavier
loads or when towing a trailer.
●
Allow more braking distance. A heavier
vehicle takes longer to stop.
●
Avoid making sharp turns unless you
