Choosing The Correct Attachment
WARNING! Avoid Injury or Death. Never use attachments or buckets which are not approved by
POLARIS. Buckets and attachments for safe loads of specific densities are approved for each model.
Unapproved attachments can cause injury or death.
Tip: Any damage caused by the use of non-approved attachments is not covered by warranty.
The dealer can identify, for the utility vehicle, the attachments and buckets approved by
POLARIS. The buckets and attachments are approved for attachment arm rated capacity and
for secure fastening to the PRO-TACH.
The attachment arm rated capacity is determined by using a standard bucket and material of
normal density, such as dirt or dry gravel. If very dense material is loaded, the volume must
be reduced to prevent overloading.
Exceeding the arm rated capacity could result in:
• Difficult steering
• Longer stopping distance
• Faster tire wear
• Loss of stability
• Reduced utility vehicle life
Use the correct size bucket for the type and density of
material being handled. For safe handling of materials
and avoiding vehicle damage, the attachment (or
bucket) should handle a full load without going over
the attachment arm rated capacity for the utility
vehicle.
Choosing The Correct Attachment
If a pallet fork attachment is used, the load center
moves forward and reduces the load capacity.
The maximum load to be carried when using a pallet
fork is shown on a label located on the pallet fork
frame.
See your dealer for more information about pallet fork
inspection, maintenance and replacement. See your
dealer for attachment arm rated capacity when using a
pallet fork and for other available attachments.
