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
E

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.
