The throttle and brake are the primary controls of the snowmobile. If either should malfunction, the operator could lose control, which could lead to serious injury or death. Always check the throttle and brake levers for proper operation before operating the vehicle. |
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.
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, you can bring the machine to your authorized POLARIS dealer for service.
