SAFETY
PREPARE YOURSELF, PASSENGERS, AND
CARGO FOR THE RIDE
Wear an approved helmet. Riding in this vehicle without wearing an approved
helmet increases the risk of serious injury. For example, a helmet reduces your
risk of injury from head strikes with the vehicle or other objects even if there is no
crash.
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.
Use shatterproof goggles or a shatterproof helmet face shield. Such
protective eyewear may reduce the risk of foreign material getting in your eyes
and help prevent loss of vision.
POLARIS recommends wearing approved Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) that have markings
indicating they are designed to standards such as:
• VESC 8
• V-8
• Z87.1
• CE
Additional protective clothing and gear that may be appropriate for your
riding conditions includes:
• Always wear shoes when operating. Consider wearing sturdy over-the-ankle
boots suitable for the terrain you will be riding in.
• Full-finger gloves can protect against wind, sun, cold, and objects. Choose
gloves that fit snugly and allow fingers to move freely and grip on the steering
wheel or hand holds.
• Consider long sleeves and long pants to help protect arms and legs.
• Long-term exposure to wind and engine noise can cause permanent hearing
loss. Properly worn hearing protective devices such as earplugs can help
prevent hearing loss. Check local laws or the rules of the riding area you are
in before wearing hearing protection to make sure its use is permitted.
