Follow these guidelines for hauling and towing of 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 when hauling or towing loads. ●When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to maintain stable driving conditions. ●Weight distribution on the front and rear racks should be as far forward and as low as possible. Carrying a high load raises the center of gravity and creates an unstable operating condition. Reduce load weight when the cargo center of gravity is high. When handling off-centered loads that cannot be centered, secure the load and operate with extra caution. ●All loads must be secured before operation. Unsecured loads may shift and create unstable operating conditions. which could result in loss of control of the vehicle. 83 OPERATION OF YOUR ATV ●When operating with loads extending beyond the rack. Stability and maneuverability may be adversely affected,causing the machine to overturn. ●Carrying a load on only the front rack or the rear rack may cause an imbalanced condition and increases the possibility of vehicle overturn. Balance loads proportionally between the front rack and the rear rack, but do not exceed the stated load capacity. ●Use extreme caution when applying brakes with a loaded vehicle. Avoid terrain or situations that may require backing downhill. ●Always attach to the towable using the hitch point. Never exceed the recommended tongue weight. ●While towing, the vehicle should never exceed 10 mph (16 km/h) while towing a load on a level surface. Vehicle speed should never exceed 5mph (8 km/h) when towing loads in rough terrain,while cornering,or while ascending or descending a hill. ●Do not obstruct the headlight when loading the front rack. ●Always use low gear while towing to avoid clutch wear and belt issues. ●Using chains, straps, rope or other materials to tow objects is not recommended, as these items could get caught in the rear wheels, resulting in vehicle damage or personal injury. 84 Load Distribution OPERATION OF YOUR ATV Your vehicle has been designed to carry or tow a certain amount of load. Always read and understand the load distribution warnings listed on the warning labels, and never exceed the specified weights. Cargo weight should be mounted as low as possible. When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to maintain stable driving conditions. If a trailer is used behind the vehicle make sure that its hitch is compatible with the one on the vehicle. Make sure the trailer is horizontal with the vehicle. (In some instances a special extension may have to be installed on the vehicle hitch). Use security chains or cables to secure the trailer with the vehicle. This vehicle may require additional stopping distance if hauling heavy loads, especially on inclined surfaces and when a passenger is on board. Improperly loading a trailer may cause loss of control. Respect the recommended maximum hauling capacity and maximum tongue load. Make sure there is at least some weight on the tongue. Always make sure load is evenly distributed and safely secured on the trailer; an evenly balanced trailer is easier to control. Always put the shift lever to L (low range) for hauling a trailer in addition to providing more torque, operating in low range helps account for the increased load on the rear tires. When stopped or parked, block the vehicle and trailer wheels from possible move- ment. Use caution when disconnecting a loaded trailer; it or its load may topple on you or others. When hauling a trailer, respect the following maximum hauling capacity. 85 OPERATION OF YOUR ATV MAXIMUM HAULING CAPACITY TRAILER LOAD ALLOWED CF800ATR-3 TONGUE WEIGHT ALLOWED NOTE 300 kg Includes trailer and trailer load.

In addition, the agricultural vehicles also can not used in conditions which may risk of falling and penetrating objects. 88 OPERATION OF YOUR ATV Hauling a Load Never pull a load by attaching it to the cage. It can cause the vehicle to tip stalled to pull a load. In an emergency situation, use the recovery hook to recover a stuck vehicle. When pulling loads with a chain or cable, ensure that there is no slack before starting and maintain tension while pulling. When pulling loads with a chain or cable, be sure to brake progressively. The inertia of the load could lead to an impact. When hauling a load, respect the maxi-mum hauling capacity. See PULLING A TRAILER subsection. WARNING Slack can cause the chain or cable to break and snap back. When pulling another vehicle, be sure that someone is controlling the pulled vehicle. They must brake and steer to prevent the vehicle from going out of control. Reduce your speed when hauling a load and turn gradually. Avoid hills and rough terrain. Never attempt steep hills. Allow more distance for braking, especially on inclined surfaces and when a passenger is on board. Be careful not to skid or slide. Accessories and Modifications If no such attachment points are foreseen, the operator’s manual shall prohibit the installation of a front end loader. This T3 has not attachment points for front end loader. Do not install front loader. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT Vehicle SAFETY, PLEASE CONTACT WITH YOUR DEALER. 89 OPERATION OF YOUR ATV Where a designated attachment point is provided on the towbar: Either Or: a) Pass the cable through the attachment point and clip it back on itself ( FIG.1 ) b)Attach the clip directly to the designated point ( FIG.2 ).This alternative must be specifically permitted by the trailer manufacturer since the clip may not be sufficiently strong for use in this way. ( FIG.1 ) ( FIG.2 ) 90 -21- Driving Safely OPERATION OF YOUR ATV Responsibilities of the operator As the operator of this vehicle, your common sense, judgment, and abilities are the only factors that will prevent injury to yourself, to others around you, and/or damage to the vehicle or environment. Recreational, group, and distance riding Always keep a safe distance from other riders ahead of you and behind you when riding in a group. Never operate carelessly or make unexpected maneuvers with other vehicles close by. Stay on designated trails and riding areas, and discourage others from operating in unauthorized locations. 91 OPERATION OF YOUR ATV Practice The driving procedures described in this manual should be practiced at slow speed many times in a large area with no obstacles. If an incorrect technique is used, your vehicle may continue to go straight. If the vehicle does not turn, stop and practice the procedure again. If the riding surface is slippery or loose, it may help to transfer more of your weight to the front wheels by moving forward on the seat. Once you have learned the proper techniques, you should be able to perform maneuvers at higher speeds or in tighter curves. Improper driving procedures such as abrupt throttle changes, excessive braking, incorrect body movements, or too much speed for the sharpness of the turn may cause the Vehicle to tip. If the Vehicle begins to tip over to the outside while negotiating a turn, lean more to the inside. It may also be necessary to gradually let off on the throttle and steer to the outside of the turn to avoid tipping over. Remember: Avoid higher speeds until you are thoroughly familiar with the operation of your Vehicle. NOTE Low gear is the preferred transmission gear selection for all forward motion other than prolonged high speed travel. Do not use high gear for continuous slow speed travel or towing, as this can lead to excessive heating of the clutch system, which may damage components. 92 OPERATION OF YOUR ATV Driving Procedures 1. Sit upright with both feet on the footrests and both hands on the handlebars. 2. Start the engine and allow it to warm up, apply the brakes, then shift the transmission into gear. 3. Check your surroundings and determine your path of travel. 4. Release the brakes. 5. Slowly depress the throttle with your right thumb and begin driving. Vehicle speed is controlled by the amount of throttle opening. 6. Drive slowly. Practice maneuvering and using the throttle and brakes on level surfaces. 93 OPERATION OF YOUR ATV Making Turns To make a turn, steer in the direction of the turn, leaning your upper body to the inside of the turn while supporting your weight on the outer footrest. This technique alters the balance of traction between the wheels, allowing turn to be made smoothly. The same leaning technique should be used for turning in reverse. NOTE Practice making turns at slow speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds. Support weight on outer foot rest WARNING Turning at sharp angles or at excessive speeds can result in vehicle overturn and lead to serious injury. Avoid turning at sharp angles. Never make turns at high speeds. 94 Lean into the turn OPERATION OF YOUR ATV Vehicle turning dynamics To achieve maximum traction while operating in 2WD or 4WD, the two rear wheels perform as one axle and turn together at the same speed. Furthermore, when operating in 4WD-LOCK mode, the front wheels will also turn together at the same speed. Therefore, unless the wheel on the inside of the turn is allowed to slip or lose some traction, the Vehicle will resist turning. The special turning technique described in this manual must be used to allow the Vehicle to make turns quickly and easily. It is essential that this skill be learned first at low speed. WARNING Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in this Owner s Manual. Practice turning at low speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds. Do not turn at speeds too fast for your skills or the conditions. Operate at a slow speed and allow extra time and distance for maneuvers when in 4WD LOCK ( DIFF. LOCK ). As you approach a curve, slow down and begin to turn the handlebars in the desired direction. As you do so, put your weight on the footboard to the outside of the turn (opposite your desired direction) and lean your upper body into the turn. Use the throttle to maintain an even speed through the turn. This maneuver will let the wheel on the inside of the turn slip slightly, allowing the Vehicle to make the turn properly. Turning on curves As you approach a curve, slow down and begin to turn the handlebars in the desired direction. As you do so, put your weight on the foot board to the outside of the turn (opposite the desired direction) and lean your upper body into the turn. Use the throttle to maintain an even speed through the turn. This maneuver will let the wheel on the inside of the turn slip slightly, allowing the Vehicle to maneuver the turn properly. 95 OPERATION OF YOUR ATV Driving in reverse To operate in reverse: 1. Ensure the throttle is closed and the vehicle is stopped completely. 2. Apply the foot brake, then shift the transmission into reverse gear. 3. Check for obstacles or people behind the vehicle. 4. When it’s safe to proceed, release the brakes, slowly press the throttle with your right thumb, and back slowly. Vehicle speed is controlled by the amount of throttle opening. NOTE Your Vehicle is equipped with a reverse speed limiter. The override button cannot be used. Do not operate at wide open throttle. Open the throttle just enough to maintain a desired speed. Follow these precautions when operating in reverse: •• Always avoid backing downhill. •• Back slowly. •• When in reverse, apply the brakes lightly for stopping. •• Avoid turning at sharp angles in reverse. •• Never open the throttle suddenly while backing. WARNING Failure to use caution when operating in reverse can result in serious injury or death. 96 OPERATION OF YOUR ATV Driving on slippery surfaces Whenever driving on slippery surfaces such as wet trails, loose gravel, sand, or during freezing weather, follow these precautions: •• Slow down when entering slippery areas. •• Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail in front of you as you drive. Avoid quick, sharp turns which can cause skids. •• Correct a skid by turning the handlebars in the direction of the skid and shifting your body weight forward. •• Driving with 4WD engaged can assist in controlling the vehicle in slippery areas. CAUTION Severe damage to drive train may occur if 4WD is engaged while the wheels are spinning. Always engage 4WD when the wheels are at rest. WARNING Failure to exercise care when operating on slippery surfaces can result in loss of tire traction and loss of control, an accident, and serious injury or death. Never apply the brakes during a skid. Do not operate on excessively slippery surfaces. Always reduce speed and use additional caution. 97 OPERATION OF YOUR ATV Driving on rough terrain Whenever driving on rough surfaces such as trails with large rocks or other obstacles, follow these precautions: •• Slow down when encountering rough terrain. •• Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail in front of you as you drive. Avoid quick, sharp turns which can cause a loss of control. •• Shift your body weight to counteract the weight of the vehicle if it tips to one side. •• Driving with 4WD or 4WD-LOCK engaged can assist in controlling the vehicle. Driving over obstacles Be alert! Learn to look ahead and to read the terrain as you drive. Be constantly alert for hazards such as logs, rocks, and low hanging branches. Never attempt to cross over an obstacle higher than the ground clearance of the vehicle. WARNING Severe injury or death can result if your vehicle comes in contact with obstacles. Travel with caution on unfamiliar terrain. 98 OPERATION OF YOUR ATV Driving through water Your Vehicle can operate through water with a maximum recommended depth equal to the bottom of the footrests. Follow these procedures when operating through water: •• Determine water depths and current before crossing. •• Choose a crossing where both banks have gradual inclines. •• Proceed slowly, avoiding rocks and obstacles if possible. •• After crossing, dry the brakes by applying light pressure to the lever until braking action is normal. WARNING Avoid operating the vehicle through deep or fast-flowing water. If you cannot avoid water that exceeds the recommended maximum depth, go slowly, balance your weight carefully, avoid sudden movements, and maintain a slow and steady forward motion. Do not make sudden turns or stops, and do not make sudden throttle changes. 99 OPERATION OF YOUR ATV Drying the CVT system after submersion If water has been ingested into the CVT housing, the drive belt will likely slip and poor performance will result. To expel water and dry the CVT housing; Drain the CVT housing, place the vehicle in neutral, and raise the engine rpm for several minutes to dry the CVT components. Release the throttle and shift into low gear, then test the performance of the vehicle. Repeat as necessary until you are satisfied all the water has been expelled. Contact your dealer if vehicle performance issues continue. NOTE After running the vehicle in water, it is critical to have the vehicle serviced as outlined in the maintenance schedule. The following areas need special attention: engine oil, front and rear gear cases and all grease locations. If your vehicle becomes immersed, and it’s impossible to take it to your dealer before starting it, follow the steps described in this manual to remove water from the air box and engine. CAUTION Major engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly inspected after operation in water. If water has been ingested into the CVT housing, follow the procedure in this manual for drying out the CVT clutch system. Have the vehicle serviced by your dealer promptly if your vehicle becomes immersed or stalls in water that exceeds the footrest level. It is important to contact your dealer for service before starting the engine, as water may have been ingested in the air box and engine. 100 OPERATION OF YOUR ATV Driving Uphill Whenever traveling uphill, follow these precautions: •• Always travel straight uphill. •• Avoid steep hills (20o maximum). •• Keep both feet on the footrests. •• Shift your weight forward. •• Maintain a steady rate of speed and throttle opening. •• Remain alert and be prepared to take emergency action. This may include quick dismounting of the vehicle. If all forward speed is lost: Keep your weight uphill and release the throttle. Apply the front brake. When fully stopped, apply rear brake as well, then shift gear selector into park position. 101 OPERATION OF YOUR ATV If the Vehicle begins rolling backwards: Keep your weight uphill. Never apply engine power. Never apply the foot brake while rolling backwards. Apply the front brake. When fully stopped, apply the rear brake and shift the gear selector into park position. Dismount on uphill side, or to either side if Vehicle is pointed straight uphill. Turn the Vehicle around and remount following the procedure described in the manual.
