Loading and accessories
WARNING
EWB00971
Improper loading or towing can increase the
risk of loss of control, an overturn, or other ac-
cident. To reduce the risk of an accident:
● Do not exceed the maximum loading limits
for the vehicle (see box in this section or ve-
hicle labeling).
● Make sure the load does not interfere with
your control or ability to see where you are
going.
● Reduce speed and allow more room to stop.
A heavier vehicle takes longer to stop.
● Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose terrain
carefully. Use extreme caution when towing
or carrying a load on inclines.
● Turn gradually and go slowly.
As originally equipped, this ATV is not designed to
carry cargo or tow a trailer. If you choose to add ac-
cessories to carry cargo, you must use common
sense and good judgment.
Use extra caution when riding the ATV with addi-
tional loads, such as accessories or cargo. The
ATV’s handling may be adversely affected. Re-
duce your speed when adding additional loads.
