● Ride more slowly than you would with-
out a load. The more weight you carry,
the slower you should go. Although con-
ditions vary, it is good practice not to ex-
ceed 2nd gear whenever you are
carrying heavier loads or when towing 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.
