OPERATION

Hauling Cargo

1. Always read and understand the load distribution warning labels on

the vehicle, and never exceed the weight capacities outlined in the
specifications section of the owner's manual and on the safety
labels. The total load (operator, accessories, cargo and weight on
hitch) must not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle.

2. Always load the cargo box with the load as far forward as possible.

3. Always operate the vehicle with extreme caution whenever hauling

or towing loads. Balance, handling and control may be affected.

4. Slow down.

5. The cargo box dump latch must be securely latched before loading

and operating. Unintentional box tilting will result if weight is
placed in the rear of the box and the latch is not secured.

6. Always attach a towed load to the hitch point.

NOTICE: Using an improper hitch or exceeding

the maximum tongue weight capacity
can result in serious damage to the
vehicle and will void your vehicle
warranty. Never install a hitch longer
than 8.25" (21 cm). Never install
automotive accessories on your
Polaris vehicle. Always install Polaris-
approved (or equivalent) accessories
designed for use on this vehicle.
