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.
Whenever 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.
Clothing
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
20.
WARNING! Avoid wearing loose
clothing or long scarves, which can
become entangled in moving parts and
cause serious injury. Always wear an
approved helmet and eye protection.
