OPERATION
Hauling Cargo
Do not exceed the weight capacities specified for the vehicle. Cargo
weight should be evenly distributed (1/3 on the front rack and 2/3 on
the rear rack) and mounted as low as possible. When operating over
rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo weight to maintain stable
driving conditions. Do not obstruct the headlight beam with cargo.
Use low forward gear when hauling or towing heavy cargo to extend
belt life.
Refer to the specifications section beginning on page 112 for capacities.
Towing Loads
Always attach a towed load to the hitch point. If towing a load, reduce
rear rack cargo weight by the amount of tongue weight. The
combination of rear rack cargo weight and tongue weight must not
exceed the rear rack capacity. See page 112.
