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 38 for more information about conditions that will cause vehi-
cle speed and engine speed to be limited.
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.
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.
