OPERATION

Hauling Cargo

Your vehicle has been designed to carry or tow a certain amount of load.

Always read and understand the load distribution warning labels on the

vehicle, and never exceed the weight capacities outlined in the specifi-

cations section of the owner's manual and on the safety decals.
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. When operating over

rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo weight to maintain stable

driving conditions. Do not obstruct the headlight beam with cargo.

Towing Loads

Always attach a towed load to the hitch point. If towing a load, reduce

rear rack cargo weight by the amount of tongue weight. The combina-

tion of rear rack cargo weight and tongue weight must not exceed the

rear rack capacity.

CAUTION

Using an improper hitch or exceeding the

maximum tongue weight capacity can

result in serious damage to the vehicle

and will void your warranty. Never install

a hitch longer than 6 3/4" (17 cm). Never

install automotive accessories on your

Polaris vehicle. Always install Polaris-

approved (or equivalent) accessories

designed for use on your vehicle.
