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.
