HAULING CARGO GUIDELINES
1. Never exceed the weight capacities specified for your ATV on warning labels
and in the specifications section of this manual
2. Cargo weight should be evenly distributed (1/3 on the front rack and 2/3 on
the rear rack) and mounted as low as possible.
3. When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo weight to
maintain stable driving conditions.
4. NEVER exceed 62 MPH (100 km/h) when rear cargo loads are above 125
lbs (57 kg) and/or front cargo loads are above 50 lbs. (23kg). NEVER exceed
50 MPH (80 km/h) when rear cargo loads are above 250 lbs (114 kg) and/or
front cargo loads are above 100 lbs. (46 kg).
5. Do not obstruct the headlight beam with cargo.
6. Slow down.
7. Use low forward gear when hauling or towing heavy cargo to extend belt life.
8. Always operate the vehicle with extreme caution whenever hauling or towing
loads. Balance, handling and control may be affected.
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. Strictly follow the instructions outlined in the operator’s
manual of the mounted or trailed machinery or trailer. Never operate the
combination tractor — machine or tractor — trailer unless all instructions have
been followed.
• 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.
• Whatever the vehicle is towing, always stay clear of the area between the
vehicle and the towed object.
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 13 cm (5.11”). Never install automotive
accessories on your POLARIS ATV. Always install POLARIS-approved (or
equivalent) accessories designed for ATV use.
