ACCESSORY USE AND VEHICLE LOADING
There are many types of accessories for sale. However, we cannot have direct
control over their quality or suitability. We cannot test each accessory that is
available. If you add the wrong accessories or misuse the vehicle with some
accessories installed, it can make the ATV less safe to ride.
Be cautious when choosing and installing accessories to your vehicle. Your
retailer may be able to help you choose accessories and install them correctly.
The guidelines below should help you decide how to equip your ATV and how to
use it correctly when you use accessories.
Accessory Use and Vehicle Loading Guidelines
1. The combined weight of the rider, tools, and any accessories or cargo must
never exceed the vehicle’s load capacity of 210kg (463 lbs.)
2. Check accessory mounting brackets and other attachments to make sure they
provide a rigid non-movable mount.
3. Accessories added to the handlebar of the ATV should be as light as possible.
The extra weight would cause the vehicle to be harder to steer.
4. Do not add accessories or cargo which interferes with controls or other
equipment.
5. Do not carry heavy or bulky cargo.
6. Distribute cargo weight evenly between the front and rear of the vehicle as
well as both sides of the vehicle. Position cargo weight as close to the center
of the vehicle if possible.
7. Secure the load well. Shifting weight can affect your ability to handle the vehicle safely.
8. Ride at slow speeds and avoid hills when carrying cargo. Carrying loads
would affect the stability and handling of your ATV.
9. Allow enough stopping distance. Stopping distance increases if you carry
loads. Use engine braking as much as possible.
WARNING
Operating this ATV with improper modifications could be hazardous.
Improper installation of accessories or modifications of the vehicle
may cause changes in handling which could lead to an accident.
Never modify the ATV with improper installation or use of improper
accessories. All parts and accessories added to the ATV should be
genuine parts or equivalent design for use on this ATV. Install and use
them according to instructions. If you have any questions, contact
your retailer or Baja Motorsports.
