MAINTENANCE
Throttle System
Failure to check or maintain proper operation of the throttle system can result in
an accident and lead to serious injury or death if the throttle pedal sticks during
operation.
Never start or operate this vehicle if it has a sticking or improperly operating
throttle pedal.
Immediately contact your POLARIS dealer for service if throttle problems arise.
Always check the pedal for free movement and return before starting the engine
and occasionally during operation.
Throttle Freeplay
If the throttle pedal has excessive
play due to cable stretch or
misadjustment, it will cause a delay in
throttle response, especially at low
engine speed. The throttle may also
not open fully. If the throttle pedal has
no freeplay, the throttle may be hard
to control, and the idle speed may be
erratic.
Check the throttle pedal freeplay at
the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page
77. Adjust the freeplay if necessary.
Throttle Freeplay Inspection
1.
Place the transmission in PARK.
2.
Apply the brakes. Start the engine. Allow it to warm up thoroughly.
3.
Measure the distance the throttle pedal moves before the engine
begins to pick up speed. Freeplay should be 1/16 to 1/8 inches (1.5-
3 mm).
