l
Ride more slowly than you would without a
load. The more weight you carry, the slower
you should go. Although conditions vary, it
is good practice not to exceed low range
whenever you are carrying heavier loads or
when towing a trailer.
l
Allow more braking distance. A heavier ve-
hicle takes longer to stop.
l
Avoid making sharp turns unless at very
slow speeds.
l
Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose ter-
rain carefully. Added weight affects the sta-
bility and handling of the ATV.WARNING
Never exceed the stated load capacity for this
ATV. Overloading this ATV or carrying or tow-
ing cargo improperly could cause changes in
vehicle handling which could lead to an acci-
dent. Cargo should be properly distributed
and securely attached. Reduce speed when
carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow great-er distance for braking.
