ADULT SECTION

Pre-Ride Check

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.
