TOWING LOADS
Always attach a towed load to the hitch point. Remove the hitch from the ATV
when not towing a trailer. If towing a load, reduce rear rack cargo weight by the
amount of tongue weight.
The combination of rear rack cargo weight and tongue weight must not
exceed the rear rack capacity.
The total load (operator, accessories, cargo and weight on hitch) must not
exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle.
NOTICE
Using an improper hitch or exceeding the maximum tongue weight capacity
can result in serious damage to the vehicle and will void your ATV warranty.
Never install a hitch longer than 4" (10 cm). Never install automotive
accessories on your POLARIS ATV. Always install POLARIS-approved (or
equivalent) accessories designed for ATV use.
MAXIMUM TOWING CAPACITIES
Do not exceed maximum towing capacities. Avoid towing on inclines.
