HAULING CARGO
Hauling cargo incorrectly can alter vehicle handling characteristics and cause loss of
control, brake instability, and possibly lead to serious injury or death.
Never exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle. The total load (operator, pas -
senger, accessories, and cargo) must never exceed the maximum weight capacity of the
vehicle. See the chart in Maximum Cargo Load / Maximum Weight Capacity on page 31.
Position the load as far forward, and as low as possible in the load deck.
Secure all loads before operating. Unsecured loads can shift and create unstable operat
-
ing conditions.
Operating the vehicle with passengers on the load deck can result in severe injury or
death. Never allow a passenger to ride on the load deck. Passengers must always ride
seated in the passenger seat.
Drive slowly and carefully.
Operate only with stable and safely arranged loads. When handling loads that are impos
-
sible to center on the load deck, make sure the load is secured as tightly as possible and
operate the vehicle with extra caution.
Reduce speed and allow greater distances for braking when hauling cargo.
Heavy loads affect braking and handling characteristics. Use extra caution when apply
-
ing brakes with a heavily loaded vehicle. Avoid terrain or situations that may require
reverse downhill travel.
Use extra caution when operating with loads that extend over the load deck sides. Stabil
-
ity and maneuverability can be affected and increase risk of rollover.
This vehicle is designed to carry or tow specific capacities. Read and comply with the load distribution warnings on the
warning label affixed to the rear hand rail. The total load (operator, passenger, accessories, and cargo) must never
exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle.
