OPERATION
• SECURE ALL LOADS BEFORE OPERATING. Unsecured loads can create
unstable operating conditions, which could result in loss of control of the
vehicle.
• OPERATE ONLY WITH STABLE AND SAFELY ARRANGED LOADS. When
handling off-centered loads that cannot be centered, securely fasten the
load and operate with extra caution. Always attach the tow load to the hitch
point designated for your vehicle.
• HEAVY LOADS CAN CAUSE BRAKING AND CONTROL PROBLEMS. Use
extreme caution when applying brakes with a loaded vehicle. Avoid terrain
or situations that may require backing downhill.
• USE EXTREME CAUTION when operating with loads that extend over the
rack sides. Stability and maneuverability may be adversely affected, causing
vehicle rollover.
• DO NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE RECOMMENDED SPEEDS.
Vehicle should never exceed 10 MPH (16 km/h) while towing a load on a
level grass surface. Vehicle speed should never exceed 5 MPH (8 km/h)
when towing loads in rough terrain, while cornering, or while ascending or
descending an incline.
Your POLARIS vehicle has been designed to carry or tow specific capacities.
Always read and understand the load distribution warnings listed on the warning
labels. The total load (operator, passengers, non-factory installed accessories,
cargo and weight on hitch) must not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the
vehicle. See the Safety chapter for details.
Driving with passengers in the cargo box can result in severe injury or death.
Never allow passengers to ride in the cargo box. Passengers must always ride
TOWING LOADS
Towing improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or
brake instability. Always follow these precautions when towing:
1. Never load more than 150 lbs. (68.1 kg) tongue weight on the towing bracket.
2. When transporting heavy loads and/or when towing, always operate the
vehicle in low gear.
3. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 10 MPH (16 km/h) when towing.
Towing a trailer increases braking distance.
