OPERATION
Hauling Cargo
Your POLARIS vehicle has been designed to carry or tow a specific
capacity. Reduce speed and allow a greater distance for braking when
towing or carrying cargo.
Loads should be centered and carried as low as possible in the box. For
stability on rough or hilly terrain, reduce both speed and cargo. Exercise
caution if the cargo load extends over the side of the box.
Always read and understand the load distribution warnings listed on
warning labels and in this manual. The total load (operator, passengers,
non-factory installed accessories, cargo and weight on hitch) must not
exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle. See page 132.
Belt Life
To extend belt life, use low gear in the following conditions:
• when hauling or towing heavy cargo.
• when consistently operating at speeds less than 35 MPH (56 km/h) in
hard-pulling terrain, such as mud, rocks or sand/dune environments.
Towing a RZR
Towing this vehicle is not recommended. Always transport the vehicle
on a trailer or flatbed with all four wheels off the ground. See page 131.
If towing a disabled vehicle is unavoidable, place the disabled vehicle’s
transmission in neutral. Tow the shortest distance possible. Do not
operate faster than 10 MPH (16 km/h).
