MOVING LOADS AND DOING WORK
When 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 hauling a load and turn gradually. Avoid
hills and rough terrain. Never attempt steep hills. Allow more
distance for braking, especially on inclined surfaces and when a
passenger is on board. Be careful not to skid or slide.
Pulling a Cargo Carrier
Riding this vehicle with a cargo carrier substantially increases the
risk of toppling, especially on inclined slopes. If a cargo carrier is
used behind the vehicle make sure that its hitch is compatible with
the one on the vehicle. Make sure the cargo carrier is horizontal
with the vehicle. (In some instances a special extension may have
to be installed on the vehicle hitch). Use security chains or cables to
secure the cargo carrier with the vehicle.
Reduce your speed when pulling a cargo carrier and turn gradually.
Avoid hills and rough terrain. Never attempt steep hills. Allow more
distance for braking. Be careful not to skid or slide.
Improperly loading a cargo carrier may cause a loss of control.
Do not exceed the towing capacity or tongue capacity. Refer to
SPECIFICATIONS .
Make sure there is at least some weight on the tongue.
Always make sure load is evenly distributed and safely secured on
the cargo carrier; an evenly balanced cargo carrier is easier to control.
On vehicle equipped with a gearbox, always put the shift lever to L
(low range) for hauling a cargo carrier – in addition to providing more
torque, operating in low range helps account for the increased load.
Use caution when disconnecting a loaded cargo carrier; it or its load
may topple on you or others.
When hauling a cargo carrier, respect the maximum hauling capacity
indicated on the label on the rear of the tunnel.
