Attachments (Models HD and HD PTO )
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 can cause the following
problems:
• 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 for-
ward and reduces the load capacity.
The maximum load to be carried when using a pallet fork is
shown on a decal located on the pallet fork frame.
See your dealer for more information about pallet fork inspec-
tion, maintenance and replacement. See your dealer for attach-
ment arm rated capacity when using a pallet fork and for other
available attachments.
