Operator Safety

Riding Apparel

Be prepared, be warm and be

comfortable when riding. Be

aware of the weather forecast,

especially the windchill, and dress

accordingly. See the chart on page

22.

WARNING! Avoid wearing loose

clothing or long scarves, which can

become entangled in moving parts

and cause serious injury.

Helmet
Wearing a helmet can prevent a severe head injury. Whenever riding a

Polaris vehicle, always wear a helmet that meets or exceeds established

safety standards.
Approved helmets in the USA and Canada bear a U.S. Department of

Transportation (DOT) label.
Approved helmets in Europe, Asia and

Oceania bear the ECE 22.05 label. The

ECE mark consists of a circle surrounding

the letter E, followed by the distinguishing

number of the country which has granted

approval. The approval number and serial

number will also be displayed on the label.

Eye Protection
Do not depend on eyeglasses or sunglasses for eye protection. When-

ever riding a Polaris vehicle, always wear shatterproof goggles or use a

shatterproof helmet face shield. Polaris recommends wearing approved

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) bearing markings such as VESC

8, V-8, Z87.1, or CE. Make sure protective eye wear is kept clean.
