SAFE RIDING GEAR
Always wear helmet, eye protection, gloves, long-sleeve shirt, long pants, over-
the-ankle boots and seat belt (if equipped) at all times. Protective gear reduces
the chance of injury.
RIDER COMFORT
Under certain operating conditions, heat generated by the engine and exhaust
system can elevate temperatures in the rider 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.
