Throttle Safety Switch

The throttle safety switch is designed to limit engine speed to 2400

RPM whenever all pressure is removed from the throttle lever and the

throttle cable or throttle valves do not return to the normal closed posi-

tion. If the throttle lever is depressed with a throttle valve error, the Mal-

function Indicator Lamp will come on and vehicle speed will be limited

to 18 MPH (29 km/h).
See page 34 for more information about conditions that will cause vehi-

cle speed and engine speed to be limited.

This four-stroke snowmobile has a self-diagnostic check of the throttle

safety switch. The switch operation is checked through the engine con-

trol unit for correct operation. If a defective switch is detected by the

self diagnostics system, the MIL will illuminate. Take your snowmobile

to an authorized Polaris dealer for diagnosis and repair if the MIL is illu-

minated.

WARNING

Operating the snowmobile with a faulty throttle safety switch can result in

serious injury or death in the event of an accident. If the throttle safety switch

does not limit engine speed to 2400 RPM when all pressure is removed from

the throttle lever during a throttle malfunction, immediately push down the

engine stop switch. Do not start the engine again until the malfunction has

been corrected by your dealer.
