●Accessories should be rigidly and securely mounted. An accessory which can shift position or come off while you are riding could affect your ability to control the ATV.

●Do not mount an accessory where it could inter- fere with your ability to control the ATV. Exam- ples include (but are not limited to) a heavy or bulky object attached to the handlebars which could make steering difficult, an accessory that limits your ability to move around on the seat, or one that limits your view.

●Use extra caution when riding an ATV with ac- cessories. The ATV may handle differently than it does without accessories.

●Tie down cargo securely to the carriers. Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot move around. A shifting load can cause an accident.

●Make sure the load does not interfere with con- trols or your ability to see where you are going.

●Ride more slowly than you would without a load. The more weight you carry, the slower you should go.

●Allow more braking distance. A heavier ATV
