Riding Apparel
Be prepared, be warm and be com-
fortable when riding. Be aware of the
weather forecast, especially the
windchill, and dress accordingly. See
the chart on page 22.
Helmet
Wearing a helmet can prevent a
severe head injury. Whenever riding a Polaris vehicle, always wear a
helmet that meets or exceeds established safety standards.
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.
Eye Protection
Do not depend on eyeglasses or sunglasses for eye protection. When-
ever 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.
WARNING
Avoid wearing loose clothing or
long scarves, which can become
entangled in moving parts and
cause serious injury.
