FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Seat Belts
This POLARIS vehicle is equipped with three-
point lap and diagonal seat belts for the operator
and passenger. Always make sure the seat belts
are secured for all riders before operating. The
driver's seat belt is equipped with a seat belt
interlock. Vehicle speed will be limited to 15
MPH (24 km/h) if the seat belt is not secured.
The center of the seat is NOT equipped with a
seat belt. Never allow a passenger to ride between
the operator and passenger seats.
WARNING! Falling from a moving vehicle could result
in serious injury or death. Always fasten your seat belt
securely before operating or riding in this vehicle.
To wear the seat belt properly, follow this
procedure:
1. For 3-point belts, pull the seat belt latch downward and across your chest toward the
buckle at the inner edge of the seat. The belt should fit snugly across your hips and
diagonally across your chest. Make sure the belt is not twisted.
2. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
3. Release the strap, it will self tighten.
4. To release the seat belt, press the square red button in the buckle’s center.
Seat Belt Inspection
Inspect all seat belts for proper operation before each use of the vehicle.
1. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. The latch plate must slide smoothly
into the buckle. A click indicates that it's securely latched.
2. Push the red release latch in the middle of the buckle to make sure it releases freely.
3. Pull each seat belt completely out and inspect the full length for any damage, including
cuts, wear, fraying or stiffness. If any damage is found, or if the seat belt does not
operate properly, have the seat belt system checked and/or replaced by an authorized
GEM dealer.
4. To clean dirt or debris from the seat belts, sponge the straps with mild soap and water.
Do not use bleach, dye or household detergents. Rinse the entire length of the belt
webbing. Use a garden hose to flush out the retractor and latch housings regularly.
Seat Removal
Pull up on the front of the seat and slide it toward the front of the vehicle. Install the seat by
sliding the tabs into the rear of the seat base. Push down firmly on the front of the seat until
the pins are fully seated into the grommets.
