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
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.
Be prepared, be warm and be comfortable
when riding. Be aware of the weather
forecast, especially the windchill, and dress
accordingly. See page 20.
DISABLED OPERATORS
Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and physical
skills. Operators with cognitive or physical disabilities have an increased risk of
loss of control, which could result in serious injury or death.
SURVIVAL PREPARATION

someone where you're going and how long you expect to be gone. If it isn't
possible to ride with others, and you must travel into remote areas, always carry
survival equipment that's appropriate to the conditions you may encounter. Such
equipment may include, but is not limited to: extra clothing, a sleeping bag, a
flashlight, food and water, a signaling mirror, a means of building a fire, and a
two-way radio or cellular telephone.
