The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the
fuel tank. The display segments of the fuel gauge
disappear towards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level de-
creases. When the “E” segment disappears and
the fuel level warning indicator flashes, set the fuel
cock to reserve and refuel as soon as possible.

Loading
Cargo or a trailer can change the stability and han-
dling of an ATV. You must use common sense and
good judgment when carrying cargo or towing a
trailer. Keep the following points in mind:

Never exceed the weight limits shown. An
overloaded ATV can be unstable.
MAXIMUM LOADING LIMIT

Vehicle loading limit (total weight of cargo,
rider and accessories, and tongue weight):
220 kg

Front carrier: 45 kg

Rear carrier: 85 kg

Storage box: 2.0 kg

Trailer hitch:
Pulling load (total weight of trailer and car-
go): 550 kgf
Tongue weight (vertical weight on trailer
hitch point): 15 kgf

6-29

Do not exceed the maximum tongue weight.
You can measure tongue weight with a bath-
room scale. Put the tongue of the loaded trailer
on the scale with the tongue at hitch height. Ad-
just the load in the trailer, if necessary, to re-
duce the weight on hitch. If you are carrying
cargo and towing a trailer, include the tongue
weight in the maximum vehicle load limit.

Load cargo on the carrier as close to the center
of the vehicle as possible. Put cargo at the front
of the rear carrier. Center the load from side to
side.

Tie down cargo securely to the carriers. Make
sure cargo in the trailer cannot move around. A
shifting load can cause an accident.

Make sure the load does not interfere with con-
trols or your ability to see where you are going.

6-31

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 whenev-
er you are carrying heavier loads or when tow-
ing a trailer.

Allow more braking distance. A heavier vehicle
takes longer to stop.

Avoid making sharp turns unless at very slow
speeds.

Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose terrain
carefully. Added weight affects the stability 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 carry-
ing cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater dis-
tance for braking.

7-41 1. Lean towards inside of turn.
2. Support your weight on the outer footboard.
1. Se pencher vers l’intérieur du virage.
2. S’appuyer sur le repose-pied extérieur.
1. Inclínese hacia el interior del giro.
2. Descanse su peso en el descansapie exterior.
As you approach a curve, slow down and begin to
turn the handlebars in the desired direction. As
you do so, put your weight on the footboard to the
outside of the turn (opposite your desired direc-
tion) and lean your upper body into the turn. Use
the throttle to maintain an even speed through the
turn. This maneuver will let the wheel on the inside
of the turn slip slightly, allowing the ATV to make
the turn properly.
This procedure should be practiced at slow speed
many times in a large off-road area with no obsta-
cles. If an incorrect technique is used, your ATV
may continue to go straight. If the ATV doesn’t
turn, come to a stop and then practice the proce-
dure again. If the riding surface is slippery or loose,
it may help to position more of your weight over the
front wheels by moving forward on the seat.
Once you have learned this technique you should
be able to perform it at higher speeds or in tighter
curves.
