the vehicle. Never exceed the weight capacities specified for the 

vehicle.

2. Always load the cargo box with the load as far forward as possible.
3. Always operate the vehicle with extreme caution whenever hauling 

or towing loads. Balance, handling and control may be affected.

Towing Loads

Towing is approved OFF-ROAD ONLY. Operating a Tractor/trailer 

combination on public roads is prohibited. 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°.
• Use the front hitch for vehicle recovery or towing only. Always 

remove the front hitch before operating in forward gear.

• 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.

Using an improper hitch or exceeding the maximum 

tongue weight capacity can result in serious damage 

to the vehicle and will void your warranty. Never 

install a hitch longer than 10 cm. Never install 

automotive accessories on your POLARIS Tractor. 

Always install POLARIS-approved (or equivalent) 

accessories designed for Tractor use.

Dumping Cargo

If cargo weight is placed toward the rear of the cargo box, the load may dump 

unexpectedly and cause serious injury. When loading cargo, always position the 

weight as far forward and as low as possible.

1. Select a level site to dump the cargo box. Do not attempt to dump or 

unload the vehicle while parked on an incline.

2. Place the transmission in 

PARK.

3. Lock the parking brake.
4. Dismount the vehicle.
5. Check cargo distribution. If 

cargo has shifted to the rear 

of the box, exercise 

caution.

6. Lower the tailgate.
7. Pull one of the cargo box 

release levers forward.

8. Firmly grasp a cargo box 

handle and slowly lift the 

front of the cargo box to 

dump the cargo.

To prevent a crushing injury to hands and fingers, keep hands and fingers away 

from the lower front edge of the cargo box while lowering the box. 

9. Lower the cargo box and make sure the release latch is secured.
10. Secure the tailgate.

Driving with the cargo box in the raised position can cause serious injury and 

damage to the vehicle. The cargo box could close unexpectedly and injure the 

driver. The rear tires will also catch the rear of the bed, damaging the vehicle 

and creating hazardous driving conditions. Never drive this vehicle with the 

cargo box in the raised position. Never leave this vehicle parked or unattended 

with the cargo box in the raised position.

OPERATION

Towing the Tractor

If towing the Tractor is necessary, shift the transmission into neutral for 

better mobility and to prevent damage to the belt. Always attach the tow 

cable to the front tow loop of the disabled Tractor. A rider must be on 

board to steer the disabled Tractor while towing.
