8 Load cargo on the carriers as close to the
center of the vehicle as possible. Put cargo
at the rear of the front carrier and at the
front of the rear carrier. Center the load from
side to side.
8 Tie down cargo securely to the carriers.
Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot move
around. A shifting load can cause an acci-
dent.
8 Make sure the load does not interfere with
controls or your ability to see where you are
going.
8 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
vehicle takes longer to stop.
8 Avoid making sharp turns unless at very
slow speeds.
