CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Controls
Engine Throttle and Choke
Throttle Lever
Engine speed and vehicle
movement are controlled by
pressing the throttle lever.
The throttle lever (1) is spring
loaded and engine speed
returns to idle when the lever
is released.
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 position, the engine will stop and power to the rear wheels will
cease when the operator releases the throttle lever.
Choke
Refer to the engine starting procedure on page 70 for correct choke and
throttle settings during starting.
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
problems 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.
