Sound Judgment Cargo Limitations Limit the ATV to the load capacity rat- ings identified in the following chart. So if you’re weighing in at over 165 lb (75 kg) when you ride, leave some of that extra cargo at home. The combined weight limit, including you, your rack cargo, and your trailer, is a specified amount, so consult the Load Capacity Ratings Chart and monitor it carefully. Max Payload - Mass of vehicle in run- ning order together with rider subtracted from maximum technically permissible mass declared by the manufacturer. Tongue Weight - Weight on trailer tongue. Tongue and Accessory Weight - Must be included as part of the front and rear rack weights.
Extra weight on the ATV will also throw you off balance if it’s not distributed evenly, side-to-side and front-to-rear. If you have 200 lb (91 kg) on the rear rack only and you’re heading up an incline, shifting your own weight forward isn’t going to do enough to compensate for that cargo sitting over the back tires. Tongue and Rear Cargo Weight - Total weight on trailer tongue and rear rack capacity. Towing Limit - Total weight of trailer and all cargo in the trailer. Speedrack When installing Speedrack accessories, make sure to read and carefully follow the instructions provided in each kit. Cargo has such a huge affect on ATV handling that you need to pay a lot of attention to your speed.
Even on really level areas, you should keep it under 10 mph (16 kph) if you’ve got a trailer attached. Avoid uneven terrain. Also, consider that your braking distance is going to increase with the more weight you carry. NOTE: Use extra caution when operating an ATV with additional loads such as accessories and/or cargo. Handling of the ATV may be adversely affected. Reduce speed when adding additional loads . Think about these when dealing with cargo: 1. Rack weight limit 2. Trailer weight limit 3. Weight distribution 4. ATV speed ! WARNING POTENTIAL HAZARD Overloading the ATV or carrying or towing cargo improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN Could cause changes in ATV han- dling, which could lead to an acci- dent. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Never exceed the stated load capac- ity for the ATV. Cargo should be properly distrib- uted and securely attached. Reduce speed when carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater dis- tance for braking. Always follow the instructions in this Operator’s Manual for carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Load Capacity Ratings Chart !
