OPERATION

Hauling Cargo

Your ATV has been designed to carry or tow a certain amount of load.

Always read and understand the load distribution warning labels on the

vehicle, and never exceed the weight capacities specified in your

owner’s manual and on safety decals.
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.
Maximum Towing Capacities

Maximum trailer weight - 1500 (680 kg) on level ground only, with a

maximum vertical hitch weight of 150 lbs. (68.04 kg). NOTE: The

rear rack capacity and tongue weight should not exceed 200 lbs.
Maximum grade while trailer towing - 15°. Do not tow any trailer on a

grade steeper than 15° (850 lbs. on grades up to 15° ).
Belt Life
Use low forward gear when hauling or towing heavy cargo to extend

belt life.
