LOAD DISTRIBUTION WARNINGS
Correct loading of this vehicle is necessary to maintain proper stability and operating char-
acteristics. Overloading or incorrect positioning of the load ef fects the vehicles turning,
stopping distance and stability. Failure to follow loading requirements could cause severe
injury or death. REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCE FOR BRAKING
WHEN CARRYING CARGO.
CARGO WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION should b e1/3 on the front rack and2/3 on the rearrack.
When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to maintain stable driv-
ing conditions. Maximum cargo capacity is 270 lbs. on level terrain. When operating at
maximum cargo capacity, the cargo weight distributionmust be 9 0lbs. onthefront rack and
180 lbs. on the rear rack.
ALL LOADS MUST BE SECURED BEFORE MOVING VEHICLE. Unsecured loads can
create unstable operating conditions which could result in loss of control of the vehicle.
LOADS MUST BE CARRIED AS LOW ON THE RACKS AS POSSIBLE. Carrying loads
high on the racks raises the center of gravity of the vehicle and creates aless stableoperat-
ing condition. When cargo loads are carried high onthe racks, the weight of theloads must
be reduced to maintain stable operating conditions.
OPERATE ONLY WITH STABLE AND SAFELY ARRANGED LOADS. When handling off-
centered loads which cannot becentered, securely fasten loadand operate w ith extra cau-
tion.
EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED when operating with loads extendingover the rack
