Prepare Yourself, Passengers, and Cargo for the Ride

Wear an approved helmet. Riding in this vehicle without wearing an approved helmet increases the risk of serious injury. For example, a helmet reduces your risk of injury from head strikes with the vehicle or other objects even if there is no crash.

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.





Use shatterproof goggles or a shatterproof helmet face shield. Such protective eyewear may reduce the risk of foreign material getting in your eyes and help prevent loss of vision.

POLARIS recommends wearing approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that have markings indicating they are designed to standards such as:

  • VESC 8

  • V-8

  • Z87.1

  • CE

Additional protective clothing and gear that may be appropriate for your riding conditions includes:

  • Always wear shoes when operating. Consider wearing sturdy over-the-ankle boots suitable for the terrain you will be riding in.

  • Full-finger gloves can protect against wind, sun, cold, and objects. Choose gloves that fit snugly and allow fingers to move freely and grip on the steering wheel or hand holds.

  • Consider long sleeves and long pants to help protect arms and legs.

  • Long-term exposure to wind and engine noise can cause permanent hearing loss. Properly worn hearing protective devices such as earplugs can help prevent hearing loss. Check local laws or the rules of the riding area you are in before wearing hearing protection to make sure its use is permitted.

Always stay completely inside the vehicle and hold the steering wheel or hand holds. Body parts outside of the vehicle can be struck by passing objects or crushed during a rollover. Do not put any part of your body outside of the vehicle for any reason. Do not hold onto the ROPS frame or put any part of your body on the door.

Riding in this vehicle without closed and latched cab doors increases the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident or rollover. Always make sure all cab doors are closed and latched while riding in this vehicle. Keep clear of the door area when closing the doors, as hands or feet may be pinched between the door and ROPS.

Be sure riders pay attention and plan ahead. If you think or feel the vehicle may tip or roll, reduce your risk of injury:

  • Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel or hand holds and brace yourself.

  • Do not put any part of your body outside of the vehicle for any reason.

This vehicle is not designed to carry unrestrained pets. An unrestrained pet can be thrown about and injure riders, even during normal operation. When transporting pets, use a pet crate suitable for off-road use that is secured to the vehicle.


Fuels such as gasoline can be extremely flammable. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, never carry fuel or other flammable liquids on this vehicle. Rollovers, crashes, rough riding, or changes in elevation or temperature may lead to fuel spilling or vapor release from portable containers. Hot vehicle parts can cause fires, even after the engine has been turned off.

Never exceed vehicle weight capacities. The vehicle’s maximum weight capacity (including riders, cargo, and accessories) is shown in the SPECIFICATIONS tables in this Owner’s Manual. The cargo box can support up to 1500 lbs. (680 kg) of that total. When more rider weight is added, cargo weight may need to be eliminated to stay under the maximum vehicle weight capacity limit. Overloading the vehicle or carrying cargo improperly will cause changes in stability and handling, which could cause loss of control or an accident.

Secure cargo in the cargo box as far forward, centered and as low as possible. When cargo cannot be positioned and secured in this way, operate with extra caution. Unsecured cargo can strike and injure riders, affect vehicle handling, and result in loss of control.

The weight of riders and cargo changes vehicle braking, handling, and stability. To avoid loss of control, turn gradually, operate at slower speeds, and avoid rougher or steeper terrain.
