THROTTLE LEVER
WARNING
An improperly functioning throttle lever may cause erratic snowmobile 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.
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/throttle body 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 the throttle lever operates properly, turn the ignition switch on and go
through normal starting procedures.
5. If the engine doesn't start, your authorized POLARIS dealer can perform this
service.
Excessive freeplay in the throttle cable may cause the safety switch to activate,
preventing the engine from starting. If this occurs, return the snowmobile to an
authorized POLARIS dealer for service.
If an emergency exists and it's necessary to start the 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 snowmobile with the throttle
safety switch disconnected. Return the snowmobile to an authorized POLARIS
dealer for service as soon as possible.
POLARIS ELECTRONIC REVERSE CONTROL
(PERC)
WARNING
Improper reverse operation, even at low speeds, may cause loss of control,
resulting in serious injury or death. Damage will occur to the chaincase or
transmission if shifting is attempted when the engine is operating above idle
speed.
• Shift to or from reverse only when the snowmobile is stopped and when
engine speed is at idle.
• Look behind the vehicle before and while backing.
• Avoid sharp turns.
• Apply throttle slowly.
