Loading
As originally equipped, this ATV is not designed
to carry cargo or tow a trailer. If you choose to
add accessories so that you can carry cargo or
tow a trailer, you must use common sense and
good judgement. Keep the following points in
mind:
8Never exceed the weight limits shown. An
overloaded ATV can be unstable.
MAXIMUM LOADING LIMIT
8Vehicle loading limit (total weight of rider,
cargo and accessories):
105 kg
8Front carrier:5 kg
8Rear carrier:10 kg

8Load cargo on the carriers as close to the
center of the vehicle as possible. Put cargo
at the rear of the front carrier and at the
front of the rear carrier. Center the load from
side to side.
8Tie down cargo securely to the carriers.
Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot move
around. A shifting load can cause an acci-
dent.
8Make sure the load does not interfere with
controls or your ability to see where you are
going.
8Ride more slowly than you would without a
load. The more weight you carry, the slower
you should go.
Allow more braking distance. A heavier
vehicle takes longer to stop.
8Avoid making sharp turns unless at very
slow speeds.

8Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose terrain
carefully. Added weight affects the stability
and handling of the ATV.
w
Never exceed the stated load capacity for
this ATV. Overloading this ATV or carrying
or towing cargo improperly could cause
changes in vehicle handling which could
lead to an accident.
Cargo should be properly distributed and
securely attached. Reduce speed when car-
rying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater
distance for braking.

When riding in an area where you might not
easily be seen, such as desert terrain, mount a
caution flag on the ATV. DO NOT use the flag
pole bracket as a trailer hitch.
w
Always mount a caution flag on the ATV to
make you more visible when operating in
areas where you might not be seen by other
off-road vehicles. Watch carefully for other
vehicles.
Do not ride in areas posted “no trespassing”. Do
not ride on private property without getting per-
mission.
