OPERATION
Hauling Cargo
Never exceed the weight
capacities specified for your
ATV on warning labels and
in the specifications section
of this manual.
Cargo weight should be
mounted as low as possible.
When operating over rough
or hilly terrain, reduce speed
and cargo weight to main-
tain stable driving condi-
tions.
1. Always load the cargo
box with the load as far
forward as possible.
2. Do not obstruct the headlight beam with cargo.
3. Use low forward gear when hauling or towing heavy cargo to
extend belt life.
4. Always operate the vehicle with extreme caution whenever hauling
or towing loads. Balance, handling, and control may be affected.
5. Slow down.
6. Make sure the cargo box dump latch is securely latched before load-
ing and operating. Unintentional dumping will result if weight is
placed in the rear of the box and the latch is not secured.
