SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
Important Warnings
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH can result if you do not follow these instructions:
Before taking the first trip with the trailer coupled to a BRP roadster, it is recommended performing exercises as indicated in the
VEHICLE'S OPER-
ATOR'S GUIDE
to become familiar with different handling characteristics.
If you are planning to use this BRP roadster trailer with any other vehicle, make at least one short trial run. This will help you learn about the new behavior of your vehicle.
When riding, pay particular attention to the following:
– Do not use the cruise control.
– Use a longer following distance from the vehicle in front of you.
– When towing a trailer, more time and distance is needed when passing or stopping.
– Reduce your speed and slow down more than usual before turning and avoid sharp turns.
– When cornering, achieve the turn on a larger radius. It takes more space to turn with a trailer.
– Always move slowly when backing up. Ask someone to guide you when possible. Practice in an open area at the first opportunity.
– Be prepared for sudden changes in air pressure or wind buffering when trucks pass from either direction.
Slow down and keep a firm grip on handlebar. Do not apply brakes to correct trailer swaying. Continued pulling of the trailer provides a stabilizing force to correct swaying.
– When going downhill, reduce speed and shift into lower gears before starting down.
Loss of control of the trailer or trailer/roadster combination can result in death or serious injury. The most common causes of loss of control of the trailer are:
– Driving too fast for the conditions.
– Overloading the trailer or loading the trailer incorrectly.
– Trailer improperly coupled to the hitch.
– Inadequate towing hitch.
– Not maintaining proper tire pressure.
– Not keeping wheel lug nuts tight.
Always perform the pre-ride inspection for safe riding.
Maintain your trailer as per the maintenance schedule.

______________
MAXIMUM
CARGO WEIGHT
68 kg (150 lb)
LOADING YOUR TRAILER
The most effective way to guard against swaying is proper distribution of the cargo. Position 55% of cargo weight forward of trailer axle and 45% to rear of the trailer axle.
rmo2010-005-018_b
A. 68 kg (150 lb)
NOTICE Exceeding the maximum towed weight can damage vehicle or trailer.
Load Distribution
WARNING
The vehicle handling, stability, acceleration and braking distance are affected when towing a trailer.
Correct loading and weight distribution are important.
Never overload, tow or carry cargo improperly. Failure to follow the recommendations could affect the vehicle handling and lead to loss of control.
Since the road can be bumpy, place the cargo so that it does not shift while the trailer is being towed. Always secure cargo as low as possible in the trailer.
WARNING
Shifting cargo can result in loss of control.
Improper weight distribution in trailer can cause a trailer swaying (sway from side to side).
Load distribution has a direct effect on tongue weight and handling. More weight at the tongue reduces steering control. Less weight at the tongue can render the trailer unstable and make it sway.
rmo2010-005-017_a
For partial load, place cargo at front.
If the maximum tongue weight is reached, distribute remaining cargo toward rear.

ON THE ROAD
Driving Tips
Crosswinds and air turbulence caused when crossing or being passed by can disrupt the steering and make the trailer to sway. To minimize the effect, do not make quick steering or braking corrections. Reduce speed slowly and stay in your way.
If a wheel goes off the paved roadway,
DO NOT steer sharply and DO NOT brake. Let off the gas handle and slow down below 40 km/h (25 MPH). Then steer gradually back onto the roadway.
Proceed with caution entering traffic.
When possible, avoid swerving, twist and turns, sharp and abrupt turns as well as sudden braking. This could cause the trailer to jackknife. It is easier to unstabilize an empty trailer.
Try to anticipate the riding ahead to avoid having to backup with a trailer.
When accelerating, it is normal to shift at a higher RPM to avoid loading excessively the engine.
NOTICE Avoid spinning the rear wheel. Rocks or pebbles could be projected on the trailer and damage it.
Flat tire
A sudden bumping or "swaying" may occur. DO NOT induce hard braking.
Slowly pull over in a safe area.
Riding Speed
With ideal road conditions, the maximum speed to safely towing this trailer should never exceed maximum speed road. Always respect speed limit all time.
WARNING
Driving too fast for conditions can result in serious loss of control and cause injury or death. Decrease vehicle speed as road, weather or lighting conditions deteriorate.
