SAFETY
Safe Riding Gear
Eye Protection
Do not depend on eyeglasses or sunglasses for eye protection. When-
ever 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 wind-
shield, 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.
