ADJUSTMENTS
Throttle Cable Freeplay
WARNING
Improper adjustment of throttle cable freeplay can result in loss of control, which could
result in serious injury or death. Polaris recommends that this procedure be performed
by a Polaris dealer to ensure that it’s done correctly. Mechanically knowledgeable
persons who perform this procedure must follow the adjustment procedures exactly.
Throttle cable freeplay is adjusted at the handlebar.
1. Slide the boots (1) off the inline cable
adjuster sleeve (2) and loosen the adjuster
locknut (3).
2. Turn the adjuster until 1/16 to 1/8
freeplay is achieved at the thumb lever.
NOTE: While adjusting freeplay, be sure to flip the throttle lever back and forth.
3. Tighten the locknut and slide the boots over the cable adjuster until they touch at the
midpoint of the adjuster.
