SAFETY
Safe Riding Gear
The driver and all passengers must wear
helmet, eye protection, gloves, long-
sleeve shirt, long pants, over-the-ankle
boots and seat belt at all times. Protective
gear reduces the chance of injury
Helmet
Wearing a helmet can prevent a severe
head injury. Whenever riding this
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 this 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.
Gloves
Wear gloves for comfort and for protection from sun, cold weather and other elements.
Boots
Wear sturdy over-the-ankle boots for support and protection. Never ride a POLARIS vehicle with bare
feet or sandals.
Clothing
Wear long sleeves and long pants to protect arms and legs.
Rider Comfort
Under certain operating conditions, heat generated by the engine and exhaust system can elevate
temperatures in the driver and passenger cab area. The condition occurs most frequently when a
vehicle is being operated in high ambient temperatures at low speeds and/or high load conditions for
an extended period of time. The use of certain windshield, roof and/or cab systems may contribute to
this condition by restricting airflow. Any discomfort due to heat buildup in this area can be minimized by
wearing proper riding apparel and by varying speeds to increase airflow.
