operating an Vehicle.

any modifications have been made to the vehicle, that increase its speed or power.

Pulling a Trailer
Check the maximum axle loads of the vehicle identification plate (statutory plate). CFMOTO vehicle

the national packages limits the use of a vehicle-trailer on the road. Connect the trailer lights and
set the slow moving vehicle triangle behind the trailer.

vehicle with a trailer substantially increases the risk of toppling, especially on inclined slopes. 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.
Reduce your speed when pulling a trailer 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.
