Personal Protective Equipment

Always wear the proper clothing when operating or riding in this vehicle. All riders should wear substantial footwear, long pants and a close-fitting shirt. A hard hat or helmet and approved eye protection are recommended when appropriate for working or riding conditions. POLARIS recommends wearing approved eye protection bearing markings such as VESC 8, V-8, Z87.1 or CE. Never operate or ride in this vehicle while barefoot or while wearing sandals or tennis shoes.

Workplace safety regulations may require the use of safety glasses, safety shoes and a hard hat or helmet. Familiarize yourself with local requirements, be prepared for operating conditions and wear the appropriate safety gear.

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 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.
