Towing Loads
Towing is approved OFF-ROAD ONLY. 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.
NOTICE: Using an improper hitch or exceeding
the maximum tongue weight capacity
can result in serious damage to the
vehicle and will void your POLARIS
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.
Maximum Towing Capacities
Do not exceed maximum towing capacities. Avoid towing on inclines.
