AVERTISSEMENT
Charge maximale dans la caisse : 272 kg (600 lbs)
Charge maximale du véhicule : 594 kg (1309 lbs)
Une charge ou une remorque peut nuire à la maniabilité et
à l’équilibre du véhicule.
Lors du transport d’une charge ou lors du remorquage :
Lire le Manuel du propriétaire avant de charger le véhicule,
de tirer ou de remorquer une charge.– Ne pas dépasser la limite de charge nominale pour la caisse
de chargement, le timon et le véhicule.– Réduire la vitesse et prévoir une distance de freinage accrue.– Négocier les virages progressivement et lentement.
– Éviter les pentes et les terrains accidentés.– Arrimer solidement toute charge – un article mal arrimé
pourrait nuire soudainement à la maniabilité ou être projeté
vers l’avant et heurter un occupant.– Répartir le poids de la charge de façon équilibrée et le plus
bas possible dans la caisse; une charge mal équilibrée augmente
le risque de capotage.– Ne tirer ni ne remorquer aucun objet d’un point autre que la
fixation du timon ou le treuil (le cas échéant).Le mauvais usage de la caisse de chargement ou de l’arceau de
protection peut provoquer de graves blessures ou la mort par suite
d’une perte de contrôle, d’un capotage ou d’un accident quelconque.

Prepare your vehicle
Perform the pre-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe oper-
ating condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an
accident or equipment damage. See page 5-1 for a list of pre-operation checks.
Prepare your load or trailer
Carrying loads, towing a trailer, or pulling object s can affect handling, stability, and cause the risk
of overturns or other accidents.
 Read Chapter 6 before loading, towing, or pulling objects.
 Do not overload the vehicle or trailer. Refer to label in cargo bed for cargo bed load limit. Refer
to label next to hitch for tongue weight and trailer load limits.
 Keep weight in the cargo bed centered side to side, and as low and as far forward as possible.
 Secure cargo so that it will not shift – a loose load could change handling unexpectedly or be
thrown forward and strike occupants.
While using your Yamaha Viking VI
 Keep your body completely inside the vehicle at all times. Keep both hands on the steering
wheel. Be sure the passengers are seated, belted, and holding onto the passenger handhold.
Close doors before driving. Any part of your body (arms, legs, and head) outside the vehicle
can be struck by objects your vehicle is passin g or crushed by the vehicle cage/frame in a roll-
over accident.
 Watch for branches, brush, or other hazards that could enter the vehicle.UB857AE0.book Page 3 Monday, August 24, 2015 8:59 AM
