Load Limits & Guidelines
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 tires 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.
When towing a trailer, select the ESP mode (page 76), and
choose the 1st shift position.
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.
