clude the tongue weight in the maximum ATV
load limit.●Load cargo on the carriers as close to the center
of the ATV as possible. Put cargo at the rear of
the front carrier, at the front of the rear carrier,
and center it.●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.●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 2nd gear whenever you
are carrying heavier loads or when towing a trail-
er.●Allow more braking distance. A heavier ATV
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.
