Pre-Ride Check
n Check the throttle safety switch
Test the throttle safety switch system on a daily basis before the vehicle
is used.
With the engine idling, hold the
throttle lever pin stationary by
exerting pressure on the pivot
pin in the direction shown in the
illustration. Apply a slight
amount of throttle opening. A
properly functioning switch must
shut down the engine.
The throttle safety switch is designed to stop the engine whenever all
pressure is removed from the throttle lever and the throttle cable or
valve does not return to the normal closed position.
If excessive play develops in the
throttle cable, the safety switch may
be activated and will prevent the
engine from starting. If the engine
doesn't start and throttle safety switch
malfunction is suspected, return the
machine to an authorized Polaris
dealer for service. If an adult must
start the engine in an emergency situ-
ation, the throttle safety switch and engine stop switch may be discon-
nected from the wire harness. In this situation, the ignition key switch
must be used to shut off the engine. Be sure to reconnect the safety
switches and have the snowmobile serviced before operating the vehicle
again.
WARNING
Do not continue to operate the vehicle with the throttle safety switch discon-
nected as serious injury or death could result. See your authorized Polaris
dealer for service before operating.
