GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING
WARNING
Exceeding the gross vehicle weight rating of your vehicle can reduce stability
and handling and could cause loss of control. NEVER exceed the GVWR of
your vehicle.
The maximum load capacity of your vehicle is the maximum weight you may add
to your vehicle without exceeding the GVWR . This capacity is determined by
calculating the difference between your vehicle’s GVWR and wet weight. Refer
to the Specifications on page 121.
Refer to the manual’s Specifications section or the Manufacturing Information/
VIN label on the vehicle frame for model-specific information. See page 18.
When determining the weight you will be adding to your vehicle, and to ensure
you do not exceed the maximum load capacity, include the following:
• operator body weight
• passenger body weight
• weight of all riders’ apparel and items in or on apparel
• weight of any non-factory-installed accessories
• weight of any additional cargo on the vehicle
REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that could result in a crash or cause
injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying POLARIS Industries in
writing.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds
that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and
remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual
problems between you, your dealer or POLARIS Industries.
To contact NHTSA, or obtain other information about motor vehicle safety, you
may either call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-
800-424-9153), visit the NHTSA website at www.safercar.gov, or write to:
