Loading
Cargo or a trailer can change the stability and
handling of an ATV.
You must use common sense and good judg-
ment when carrying cargo or towing a trailer.
Keep the following points in mind:
G Never exceed the weight limits shown. An
overloaded ATV can be unstable.
MAXIMUM LOADING LIMIT
Vehicle loading limit (total weight of
G
cargo, rider and accessories, and
tongue weight): 220 kg (485 lb)
G Front carrier: 45 kg (99 lb)
G Rear carrier: 85 kg (187 lb)
Storage box: 2.0 kg (4.4 lb)
G
Trailer hitch:
G
Pulling load (total weight of trailer and
cargo): 550 kgf (1,212 lbf)
Tongue weight (vertical weight on
trailer hitch point): 15 kgf (33 lbf)
Do not exceed the maximum tongue
G
weight. You can measure tongue weight
with a bathroom scale. Put the tongue of
the loaded trailer on the scale with the
tongue at hitch height. Adjust the load in the
trailer, if necessary, to reduce the weight on
hitch. If you are carrying cargo and towing a
trailer, include the tongue weight in the
maximum vehicle load limit.
Load cargo on the carrier as close to the
G
center of the vehicle as possible. Put cargo
at the front of the rear carrier. Center the
load from side to side.
Tie down cargo securely to the carriers.
G
Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot move
around. A shifting load can cause an acci-
dent.
G Make sure the load does not interfere with
controls or your ability to see where you are
going.
