HAULING CARGO GUIDELINES
When hauling cargo, adhere to the following:
1. Never exceed the weight capacities specified for your ATV on warning labels
and in the specifications section of this manual.
2. Models With Racks: Cargo weight should be evenly distributed with 1/3 on
the front rack and 2/3 on the rear rack and mounted as low as possible.
3. All Models: NEVER exceed 50 MPH (80 km/h) when rear cargo loads are
above 75 lbs. (34 kg) and/or front cargo loads are above 37 lbs. (17 kg).
4. When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo weight to
maintain stable driving conditions.
5. Do not obstruct the headlight beam with cargo.
6. Use low forward gear when hauling or towing heavy cargo.
7. 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.
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.
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
If towing your vehicle is necessary, shift the transmission into neutral for better
mobility and to prevent damage to the belt. Always attach the tow cable to the
front tow loop of the disabled vehicle. A rider must be on board to steer the
disabled vehicle while towing.
