Towing Loads - Polaris Sportsman 9922242 Owner's Manual

Hauling Cargo
Never exceed the weight
capacities specified for your
ATV on warning labels and in
the specifications section of
this manual.
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.

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, 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.
