ESU10313
Throttle lever
Once the engine is running cleanly, squeez-
ing the throttle lever will increase the engine
speed and cause engagement of the drive
train. Regulate the speed of the snowmobile
by varying the throttle position. Because the
throttle is spring-loaded, the snowmobile will
decelerate, and the engine will return to idle
when it is released.
ESU13243
Throttle override system
(T.O.R.S.)
WARNING
EWS00042
If the T.O.R.S. is activated, make sure that
the cause of the malfunction has been
corrected and that the engine can be op-
erated without a problem before restarting
the engine. Continuing to operate with a
malfunction could cause loss of control or
damage.
If the throttle valves or throttle cable malfunc-
tions during operation, the T.O.R.S. will be
activated when the throttle lever is released.
The T.O.R.S. is designed to override the fuel
injection and limit the engine speed to less
than the clutch engagement speed if the
throttle valves fail to return to the idle position
when the throttle lever is released. (See page
80 for the clutch engagement speed.)
