Because any vehicle is sensitive to increases in
weight and changes in weight distribution, you must
take care in carrying cargo. Always follow these pre-
cautions:
•
Carrying ca rg o, passe nger and /o r pulling a trailer
can make the vehicle difficult to steer and may af-
fect vehicle handling in an unpredictable manner.
Use extreme caution when climbing and descend-
ing hills, and trave rsing slope s.
•
Braking distance is inc reased when carrying
cargo, passenger, and/or pulling a trailer. Reduce
speed and allow g
reater distance for braking.
•
All cargo should be carried as low as possible to
reduce the effect o n the vehicle’s center of gravity.
Cargo weight should be equally distributed from
side to side. This helps m ain tain s tability by cen-
tralizing weigh t. Avoid carrying cargo that extend s
beyond the rear of the vehicle. Do not carry cargo
on top of the ROPS.
•
Cargo should be securely anchored. Make sure
the cargo will no t move a round while the vehicle
is moving. Recheck cargo security as often as
possible (while the vehicle is stopped) and adjust
as necessary.
NOTICE
The front body work and fenders are not de-
signed to carry cargo or to support weight.
Do not pla
