EBU09600 Loading Cargo or a trailer can change the stability and handling of a vehicle. You must use common sense and good judgment when carrying cargo or towing a trailer. Keep the following points in mind: G Never exceed the weight limits shown. An overloaded vehicle can be unstable. MAXIMUM LOADING LIMIT G Maximum cargo bed load: 113 kg (250 lb) (YXP700) 227 kg (500 lb) (YXP1000) G Tow hitch Tow weight (Including driver, passenger, vehicle cargo and trailer and trailer cargo): 227 kg (500 lb) (YXP700) 454 kg (1000 lb) (YXP1000) Tongue weight: 68 kg (150 lb) G G G G Choose a trailer hitch drawbar designed for use with a 5 cm (2 in) receiver. (See page 4-11 for more information.) 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 carrying cargo and towing a trailer, include the tongue weight in the maximum vehicle load limit. Load cargo in the cargo bed as close to the center of the vehicle as possible. Tie down cargo securely in the trailer. Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot move around. A shifting load can cause an accident. 6-5
