OPERATION
Hauling Cargo
Your ATV 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. Use
low forward gear when hauling or towing heavy cargo to extend belt
life.
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 ATV warranty.
Never install a hitch longer than 6 3/4"
(17 cm). Never install automotive
accessories on your Polaris ATV. Always
install Polaris-approved (or equivalent)
accessories designed for ATV use.
