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 controls 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 low range whenever you are carrying heavier loads or when towing a trailer. 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. 6-8 EWB00011 WARNING Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
