Rider safety is Polaris' top priority. A Polaris ATV is an off-road vehicle. Familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations concerning the operation of this vehicle in your area.
Always wear a helmet, eye protection, gloves, long-sleeve shirt, long pants and over-the-ankle boots 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.
Helmet
Wearing a helmet can prevent severe head injury. Whenever riding this 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 that has granted special approval. The approval number and serial number also will be displayed on the label.
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.
Other Safety Resources
ATV safety training is a top priority for Polaris. Polaris strongly encourages you and any family members who will be riding the ATV to take a training course.
The Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association offers a two-hour safety course that helps develop safe driving habits. It is not a "learn to drive" course. It instead is intended to improve awareness of ROVs and inspire a safety-minded approach to off-road recreation.
The All-Terrain Vehicle Safety Institute is a not-for-profit division of the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America. It was formed in 1988 to implement an expanded national program of ATV safety education and awareness.
