OPERATION
Throttle Lever
If the engine stops abruptly when the throttle lever is released:
1 Turn the ignition switch to “OFF.”
2 Visually inspect the throttle cable and carburetor(s) to determine what
caused the safety switch to activate.
3 Test the throttle lever by compressing and releasing it several times.
The lever and cable must return to the idle position quickly and
completely.
4 If t he throttle lever operates properly, turn the ignition switch on and
go through normal starting procedures.
5 If t he engine doesn’t start, take the snowmobile to an authorized
Polaris dealer for service.
Excessive free play in the throttle cable may cause the safety switch to
activate, preventing the engine from starting. If this occurs, return the
machine to an authorized Polaris dealer for service.
If an emergency exists and it’s necessary to start t he engine, the throttle
safety switch and engine stop switch may be disconnected from the
wire harness. When these switches are disconnected, the ignition key
switch must be used to shut off the engine. DO NOT continue to
operate the machine with the t hrottle safety switch disconnected.
Return the machine to an authorized Polaris dealer for service as soon
as possible.
An improperly functioning throttle lever may cause erratic machine
behavior and loss of control, which could result in serious injury or
death. If the throttle lever does not work properly, DO NOT start
the engine.
