Hauling Cargo

WARNING
NEVER carry fuel or other flammable liquids on this vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction could lead to serious burn injuries or death.
Overloading the vehicle or carrying cargo improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or brake instability. Always follow these precautions when hauling cargo:
Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle.
REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCES FOR BRAKING WHEN HAULING CARGO.
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT CAPACITY of the vehicle. When determining the weight you are adding to the vehicle, include the weight of the operator, passengers, accessories and loads in the rack or box. The combined weight of these items must not exceed the maximum weight capacity.
Always load the cargo box with the load as far forward and as low as possible.
When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to maintain stable driving conditions.
Always operate the vehicle with extreme care when hauling cargo. Slow down and drive in the lowest gear available.
WARNING
Carrying a passenger in the cargo box could result in a fall from the vehicle or contact with moving components. Never allow a passenger to ride in the cargo box. A passenger must always be seated in a passenger seat with seat belt secured.

WARNING
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.
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 a rollover.
DO NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE RECOMMENDED SPEEDS. Vehicle should never exceed 10 MPH (16 km/h) while cornering or while ascending or descending a hill.
Your POLARIS vehicle has been designed to carry a specific capacity. Reduce speed and allow a greater distance for braking when 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. Never exceed the maximum capacities specified for your vehicle.

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.
