Towing Loads

Towing is approved OFF-ROAD ONLY unless your vehicle is approved
for on-road operation. See your POLARIS dealer about configuring the
vehicle to be certified to tow a trailer on-road.
• Do not tow any trailer on a grade steeper than 15°.
• Always attach a towed load to the hitch point. Remove the hitch from
the vehicle 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.
• For Zugmachine, unbraked trailer towing capacity is 180 kg based on
EU Directive 76/432/EC. Braked trailer towing capacity is 805 kg.
• For all other models, unbraked trailer towing capacity is 750 kg based
on EU Directive 76/432/EC.
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 10 cm. Never
install automotive accessories on your POLARIS vehicle. Always
install POLARIS-approved (or equivalent) accessories designed for
use on this vehicle.
