OPERATION

Carrying Loads

S

LOADS MUST BE CARRIED AS LOW ON THE RACKS

AS POSSIBLE. Carrying loads high on the racks raises the
center of gravity of the vehicle and creates a less stable oper-
ating condition. When cargo loads are carried high on the
racks, the weight of the loads must be reduced to maintain
stable operating conditions.

S

OPERATE ONLY WITH STABLE AND SAFELY AR-

RANGED LOADS. When handling off-centered loads which
cannot be centered, securely fasten load and operate with ex-
tra caution. Always attach the tow load to the hitch point
designated for your ATV.

S

EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED when operating

with loads extending over the rack sides. Stability and ma-
neuverability may be adversely affected, causing the machine
to overturn.

S

DO NOT BLOCK THE FRONT HEADLIGHT BEAM when

carrying loads on the front rack.

S

DO NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE REC-

OMMENDED SPEEDS. Vehicle should never exceed 10
mph (16 kph) while towing a load on a level grass surface.
Vehicle speed should never exceed 5 mph (8 kph) when tow-
ing loads in rough terrain, while cornering, or while ascend-
ing or descending a hill.
