FEATURES AND CONTRO LS
WARNING
Operating an ATV with sticking or improperly operating throttle
contro ls could cause an accident and lead to severe injury or
death.
Never sta rt or operate an ATV with a sticking or improperly
operating throttle. Always contact your dealer for service if th rottle
problems arise.
Failure to check or maintain proper operation of the throttl e
system can result in an accident if the throttle lever sticks during
operation. Always check the lever for free movement and return
before sta rting the engine. Also check occasionally during
operation.
Throttle Lever
Engine speed and vehicle movement
are controlled by pressing the
throttle lever (1). The throttle lever
is spring loaded. Engine speed
returns to idle when the lever is
released.
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 t he operator
releases the throttle lever, the engine will stop, and power to the rear
wheels will cease.
WARNING
Modifications to th e ETC could result in failure to perfo rm as
designed, which could result in severe injury or death. Do not
attempt to modify the ETC system or replace it with any after
market throttle mechanisms. Always ensure that the throttle
cable is properly installed to the ETC.
