 WARNING |
|
Hauling cargo improperly can alter vehicle handling and
may cause loss of control or brake instability, which can result in
serious injury or death.
Always follow these precautions 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,
passengers, non-factory installed accessories, loads in the rack or
box and the load on the trailer
tongue. The combined weight
of these items must not exceed the maximum weight capacity.
REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCES FOR BRAKING
WHEN HAULING CARGO.
Always load the cargo box with the load as far forward
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
or towing loads.
Slow down and drive in the lowest gear available. Always
use LOW gear when towing or hauling heavy 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. Always attach the tow load to the hitch point designated
for your vehicle.
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 a rollover.
DO NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE RECOMMENDED SPEEDS. Vehicle
should never exceed 16 km/h (10 MPH) while towing a load on a level
grass surface. Vehicle speed
should never exceed 8 km/h (5 MPH) when towing loads in rough terrain,
while cornering, or while
ascending or descending
a hill.
