SAFETY

Rider Safety

Know Your Riding Area/Tread Lightly

Your Polaris vehicle is an off-road vehicle. Familiarize yourself with all

laws and regulations concerning the operation of this vehicle in your

area. Respect the environment in which you ride your vehicle. Find out

where the designated riding areas are by contacting your Polaris dealer,

a local riding club, or local officials.
Help keep our trails open for recreational vehicle use. As an off-road

enthusiast, you represent the sport and can set a good example (or a poor

example) for others to follow. Tread lightly. Operate with respect for the

terrain, avoid littering, and always stay on the designated trails.

Trail Etiquette

Always practice good etiquette when riding. Allow a safe distance

between your vehicle and other vehicles operating in the same area.

Communicate to oncoming operators by signaling the number of vehi-

cles in your group. When stopping, move your vehicle to the edge of the

trail as far as possible to allow others to pass safely.
