6-12
●
Ride more slowly than you would without a
load. The more weight you carry, the slow-
er you should go. Although conditions vary,
it is good practice not to exceed 2nd gear
whenever you are carrying heavier loads or
when towing a trailer.
●
Allow more braking distance. A heavier ve-
hicle takes longer to stop.
●
Avoid making sharp turns unless at very
slow speeds.
●
Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose ter-
rain carefully. Added weight affects the sta-
bility and handling of the ATV.
