Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Vehicle: Park your Polaris RZR on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and turn off the engine. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery if working near electrical components.
- Remove Existing Seat: Locate and remove the bolts or latches securing the factory seat to the vehicle frame. Carefully lift and remove the old seat.
- Inspect Mounting Area: Clean any debris from the seat mounting area. Inspect the mounting points for any damage or corrosion.
- Position the New Seat: Carefully place the Pro Armor G2 Suspension Seat into the desired front seating position. Align the seat's mounting holes with the vehicle's mounting points.
- Secure the Seat: Insert the appropriate mounting bolts (either provided with the seat or reused from the factory seat, as applicable) through the seat frame and into the vehicle's mounting points. Hand-tighten all bolts first.
- Torque Bolts: Using a torque wrench, tighten all mounting bolts to the vehicle manufacturer's specified torque settings. Refer to your Polaris RZR service manual for correct torque values. Do not overtighten.
- Install Harness (if applicable): If installing a multi-point harness, route the harness straps through the designated pass-through slots on the seat. Ensure the harness is properly secured according to the harness manufacturer's instructions.

5. Operating Instructions
The Pro Armor G2 Suspension Seat is designed for comfort and support during off-road use. While seats generally do not have "operating" instructions in the traditional sense, understanding its features enhances user experience.
- Harness Compatibility: The seat features integrated pass-through slots for easy installation and removal of multi-point harnesses. Ensure harnesses are correctly routed and secured according to the harness manufacturer's guidelines.
- Removable Cushion: The bottom seat cushion is removable for cleaning or to allow water and debris to pass through the integrated sand drain. To remove, simply lift the cushion from the seat base. To re-install, align and press firmly until secured.
- Ergonomic Design: The multi-density foam construction is engineered to provide support and reduce fatigue during extended periods of use. Adjust your seating position as needed for optimal comfort.

6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your Pro Armor G2 Suspension Seat.
- Cleaning: Clean the marine-grade vinyl with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes, as these can damage the material. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
- Cushion Care: The removable cushion can be cleaned separately. Ensure it is completely dry before re-installing to prevent mildew.
- Frame Inspection: Periodically inspect the powder-coated frame for any signs of rust or damage. Touch up any chips in the coating to prevent corrosion.
- Fastener Check: Regularly check all mounting bolts for tightness, especially after off-road use. Retorque to specifications if necessary.
- Storage: If storing the vehicle for extended periods, consider covering the seats to protect them from UV exposure and environmental elements.
