Loading Guidelines
Load Limits & Guidelines
Before Riding
Carrying cargo or pulling a trailer will affect how your ATV handles
and greatly reduce its ability in accelerating, braking and making turns
and other maneuvers.
Be sure to observe the weight limits and follow these guidelines:
Check that the tyres are properly inflated.
Do not place cargo anywhere on the ATV other than on the front and
rear racks. Otherwise, operating stability may be adversely affected.
Never ride with a passenger on the front or rear cargo racks. The
ATV is not designed to carry a passenger.
Use the trailer hitch to tow another vehicle or trailer. Do not tow by
tying a rope or cable to the rear rack.
Load cargo on the rear rack as far forward as possible. Make sure
cargo on the front rack does not interfere with handlebar movement.
Do not allow cargo to extend beyond the edges of either the front or
rear racks.
Make sure all cargo is secured before riding.
Balance cargo weight evenly on both sides.
Never exceed the maximum weight limit.
When towing a trailer, take care to maintain balance and stability.
Distribute cargo between the front and rear of the trailer to obtain the
recommended tongue weight.
Allow extra room for starting, stopping and turning whenever you
carry cargo or pull a trailer.
Avoid riding on steep slopes when carrying cargo or pulling a trailer.
Never cross a slope when towing a trailer.
When towing a trailer, select the ESP mode (page ), and choose
the 1st shift position.
