SAFETY
Safe Riding Gear
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.
