OPERATION Hauling Cargo Your POLARIS vehicle has been designed to carry or tow a specific capacity. Reduce speed and allow a greater distance for braking when towing or carrying cargo. Loads should be centered and carried as low as possible in the box. For stability on rough or hilly terrain, reduce both speed and cargo. Exercise caution if the cargo load extends over the side of the box. Always read and understand the load distribution warnings listed on warning labels and in this manual. 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 page 130. Belt Life To extend belt life, use low gear in the following conditions: • when hauling or towing heavy cargo. • when consistently operating at speeds less than 35 MPH (56 km/h) in hard-pulling terrain, such as mud, rocks or sand/dune environments. Towing a RZR Towing this vehicle is not recommended. Always transport the vehicle on a trailer or flatbed with all four wheels off the ground. See page 129. If towing a disabled vehicle is unavoidable, place the disabled vehicle's transmission in neutral. Tow the shortest distance possible. Do not operate faster than 10 MPH (16 km/h). 67

Your POLARIS vehicle has been designed to carry or tow a specific
capacity. Reduce speed and allow a greater distance for braking when
towing or carrying cargo.
Loads should be centered and carried as low as possible in the box. For
stability on rough or hilly terrain, reduce both speed and cargo. Exercise
caution if the cargo load extends over the side of the box.
Always read and understand the load distribution warnings listed on
warning labels and in this manual. 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 page 130.

°
when hauling or towing heavy cargo.
°
when consistently operating at speeds less than 35 MPH (56 km/h) in
