Transporting an ORV

Consult your owner’s manual for the proper way to transport your ORV.

If your ORV can be transported in the back of another vehicle, such as a pickup truck:

• Turn off the fuel valve. Run the engine until it stops, which empties the fuel line.
• If you’re transporting the ORV for a long distance, drain the fuel tank.
• Set the parking brake.
• Leave the fuel valve and tank vent cap turned off to prevent gas vapors from leaking. This is critical when transporting the ORV inside an enclosed vehicle.

If your ORV must be transported on a trailer:

• Confirm that the trailer meets any state safety requirements. Its brake lights must be working properly, and it must be hitched correctly (including safety chains) to the vehicle pulling the trailer.
• Tie the ORV’s frame tightly to the trailer. Tie-down straps are suggested. Rope or rubber straps may stretch during transit, or may fray if they rub against sharp edges.

In either case, let the engine and muffler cool before you load the ORV.
