FEATURES AND CONTROLS
WARNING
Do not start or operate an ATV with sticking or improperly
operating throttle controls, which could cause an accident and
lead to severe injury or death.
Always contact your dealer for service repairs if throttle problems
arise.
Failure to check or maintain proper operation of the throttle
system can result in an accident if the throttle lever sticks during
operation.
Always check the lever for free movement and return before
starting the engine. Also check occasionally during operation.
Throttle Lever
Engine speed and vehicle
movement are controlled by
pressing the throttle lever. The
throttle lever (1) 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 the operator
releases the throttle lever, the engine will stop, and power to the rear
wheels will cease.
WARNING
The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) stops the engine in the
event of a throttle system malfunction and is provided for your
safety. Do not attempt to modify the ETC system or replace it
with any after market throttle mechanisms.
