Loose Terrain

. Loose terrain may

cause a utility vehicle to lose trac-
tion and may affect stability. Repair
loose terrain, chain or rope off
these areas, or identify loose 
terrain with a suitable warning.

l

Utility Vehicle and Pedestrian 
Interference

. Reroute utility vehicle

traffic or pedestrian traffic in 
congested areas wherever possible
to prevent accidents. If it is 
impractical to reroute traffic, erect
warning signs to warn pedestrians
of utility vehicle traffic, and to warn
utility vehicle operators to drive
slowly, use caution and watch for
pedestrians.

ACCESSORIES AND
LOADING

Accessories

Accessories can affect the handling
and control of your vehicle. Keep the
following in mind when considering
an accessory or operating a utility
vehicle which has accessories. 

l

Choose only accessories designed
for your utility vehicle. Your
Yamaha dealer has a variety of
genuine Yamaha accessories.
Other accessories may also be
available on the market. However,
it is not possible for Yamaha to test
all non-Yamaha accessories, nor
have any control over the quality or
suitability of them. Choose a gen-
uine Yamaha accessory, or one
that is equivalent in design and
quality.

l

Accessories should be rigidly and
securely mounted. An accessory
which can shift position or come off

while you are operating could
affect your ability to control the util-
ity vehicle. 

l

Do not mount an accessory where
it could interfere with your ability to
control the utility vehicle. Examples
include (but are not limited to) an
object that limits your ability to turn
the steering wheel or one that lim-
its your view. 

l

Use extra caution when driving a
utility vehicle with accessories. The
utility vehicle may handle differently
than it does without accessories.

Loading

Cargo or a trailer can change the
stability and handling of a utility vehi-
cle. You must use common sense
and good judgment when carrying
cargo or towing a trailer. Keep the
following points in mind: 

l

Never exceed the weight limits
shown on page 10-1. An over-
loaded utility vehicle can be 
unstable.

l

Do not exceed the maximum
tongue weight. You can measure
tongue weight with a bathroom
scale. Put the tongue of the loaded
trailer on the scale with the tongue
at hitch height. Adjust the load in
the trailer, if necessary, to reduce
the weight on hitch. If you are car-
rying cargo and towing a trailer,
include the tongue weight in the
maximum vehicle load limit. 

l

Load cargo in the cargo bed as
close to the center of the vehicle
as possible.
