CONTROL AND PARTS FUNCTIONS
Engine Throttle and Choke
Throttle Lever
Engine speed and vehicle move-
ment are controlled by pressing the
throttle lever. The throttle lever is
spring loaded and engine speed re-
turns to idle when the lever is re-
leased. This vehicle is equipped
with a Polaris Electronic Throttle
Control (ETC) which is designed to
reduce the risk of a frozen or stuck
throttle. In the event the throttle
cable should stick in an open posi-
tion, the engine will stop and power
to the rear wheels will cease when
the operator releases the throttle le-
ver.
Choke Lever
Refer to the engine starting procedure on page 55 for correct choke and throttle
settings during starting.
WARNING
The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) stops the engine in the event of
a throttle system malfunction and is provided for your safety. Do not at-
tempt to modify the ETC system or replace it with any after market
throttle mechanisms.
WARNING
Do not start or operate an ATV with sticking or improperly operating
throttle controls. A stuck or improperly operating throttle could cause an
accident resulting in severe injury or death.
Always contact your dealer for service repairs whenever throttle prob-
lems arise.
Failure to check or maintain proper operation of the throttle system can
result in the throttle lever sticking during riding and cause an accident.
Always check the lever for free movement and return before starting the
engine and occasionally during riding.
