number and serial number will also be displayed on the label.
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.
GLOVES
Off-road style gloves with knuckle pads are the best for comfort and protection.
BOOTS
The best footwear is a pair of sturdy over-the-calf boots with low heels.

Always wear long sleeves and long pants to protect arms and legs. Riding pants
with kneepads and a jersey with shoulder pads provide the best protection.

area.

• If gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap
and water and change clothing.
EXPOSURE TO EXHAUST

death in a short time. Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area.

cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Operate this vehicle only

16
SAFETY
FAILURE TO INSPECT BEFORE OPERATING

operating condition before operating increases the
risk of an accident.
Always inspect the ATV before each use to make
sure it's in safe operating condition.
Always follow all inspection and maintenance
procedures and schedules described in the owner's
manual.
OPERATING ON PAVEMENT
Operating an off-road vehicle on paved surfaces
(including sidewalks, paths, parking lots and
driveways) may adversely affect the handling of the
off-road vehicle and could result in loss of control
and accident or rollover.
Most ATV tires are designed for off-road use. Avoid
operating an off-road vehicle on pavement. If it's
unavoidable, travel slowly and avoid sudden turns
or stops.
PHYSICAL CONTROL OF THE ATV
Removing a hand from the handlebars or feet from
the footrests during operation can reduce your ability
to control the vehicle or cause loss of balance and
ejection from the ATV.
If the operator’s feet are not firmly planted on the
footrests, they could come into contact with the rear
wheels or other moving parts and lead to accident or
injury.
Always keep both hands on the handlebars and both
feet on the footrests of the ATV during operation. A
passenger should always be seated in the
passenger seat with both feet on the footrests and
both hands on the passenger grab handles at all
times. The passenger should never hold on to the
operator.
17
SAFETY
TURNING IMPROPERLY
Turning improperly could cause loss of traction, loss
of control, accident or rollover.
Always follow proper procedures for turning as
described in the owner's manual.
Never turn abruptly or at sharp angles. Never turn at
high speeds. Practice turning at slow speeds before
attempting to turn at faster speeds.
JUMPS AND STUNTS
Attempting wheelies, jumps and other stunts
increases the risk of an accident or overturn. Never
attempt wheelies, jumps, or other stunts. Avoid
exhibition driving.
