FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Throttle Lever

Press the throttle lever (1) toward

the handlebar to increase engine

speed and vehicle movement.

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

Operating an ATV with sticking or improperly operating throttle

controls could cause an accident and lead to severe injury or

death.
Never start or operate an ATV with a sticking or improperly

operating throttle. Always contact your dealer for service 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.

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.
