Features and Controls
Throttle Lever
The throttle lever is located on the right handlebar. Squeeze the lever toward the handlebar to
increase engine speed and vehicle movement.
Fuel is injected into the intake passage each time throttle is applied. Do not squeeze the throt-
tle lever while starting the engine. Do not squeeze the throttle lever when the engine is
stopped.
Engine speed returns to idle when the lever is released.
See page 141 for throttle adjustment procedures.
This ATV is equipped with Polaris Electronic Throttle
Control (ETC), which is designed to reduce the risk of a
frozen or stuck throttle. If the throttle cable should stick
in an open position when the operator releases the throt-
tle lever, the engine will stop, and power to the rear
wheels will cease.
