TRAILER HITCH WARNING (IF EQUIPPED)
Trailering with a Polaris Scrambler is not recommended. If trailering, read and
understand the warning below.
WARNING
When trailering with your ATV, be aware that the exhaust is located above the
hitch ball receiver and the trailer hitch. During operation of the ATV, the
exhaust will produce hot exhaust gas that should not be inhaled and that may
elevate the surface temperature of surrounding surfaces, including trailer
surfaces (e.g., trailer hitch, trailer tongue, trailer walls, . . . etc.). To reduce the
risk of inhaling exhaust gases and to avoid risk of burn or injury, shut off your
engine and allow time for the exhaust gases to dissipate and for the surfaces
surrounding the exhaust to cool, including the trailer surfaces, before
connecting or disconnecting a trailer. To reduce the potential for the trailer hitch
or trailer tongue from getting too hot, do not use a receiver hitch with a rise of
more than two inches.
