HAULING CARGO
WARNING
Overloading the vehicle or carrying or towing cargo improperly can alter
vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or brake instability. Always
follow these precautions when hauling cargo:
• Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle.
• REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCES FOR BRAKING
WHEN HAULING CARGO.
• NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT CAPACITY of the vehicle.
When determining the weight you are adding to the vehicle, include the
weight of the operator, accessories, and loads in the rack or box. The
combined weight of these items must not exceed the maximum weight
capacity.
• Always load the cargo box with the load centered and as low as possible.
• When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to
maintain stable driving conditions.
• Always operate the vehicle with extreme care when hauling loads.
• SECURE ALL LOADS BEFORE OPERATING. Unsecured loads can create
unstable operating conditions, which could result in loss of control of the
vehicle.
• OPERATE ONLY WITH STABLE AND SAFELY ARRANGED LOADS. When
handling off-centered loads that cannot be centered, securely fasten the
load and operate with extra caution.
• HEAVY LOADS CAN CAUSE BRAKING AND CONTROL PROBLEMS. Use
extreme caution when applying brakes with a loaded vehicle. Avoid terrain
or situations that may require backing downhill.
• USE EXTREME CAUTION when operating with loads that extend over the
rack sides. Stability and maneuverability may be adversely affected, causing
vehicle rollover.
• Carrying a passenger in the cargo box could result in a fall from the vehicle
or contact with moving components. Never allow a passenger to ride in the
cargo box.
