Link to the user's manual. As Ken says, there are warnings in several places. See p. 8 for warnings about operating limits including weight. Specified payload weight range (per Table 2 on p. 5) is at least 100 lb. and not to exceed 260 lb.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
