OPERATION
Hauling Cargo
Towing Loads
Always attach a towed load to the hitch point. Remove the hitch from
the ATV when not towing a trailer. If towing a load, reduce rear rack
cargo weight by the amount of tongue weight.
• The combination of rear rack cargo weight and tongue weight must
not exceed the rear rack capacity.
• The total load (operator, passenger, accessories, cargo and weight on
hitch) must not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle.
NOTICE: Using an improper hitch or exceeding
the maximum tongue weight capacity
can result in serious damage to the
vehicle and will void your ATV
warranty. Never install a hitch longer
than 4" (10 cm). Never install
automotive accessories on your
Polaris ATV. Always install Polaris-
approved (or equivalent) accessories
designed for ATV use.
