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 box
cargo weight by the amount of tongue weight.
• The combination of rear box cargo weight and tongue weight must
not exceed the rear box 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.
