MAINTENANCE

Throttle Body/Idle RPM

Idle RPM is preset by the manufacturer. If the engine idle speed is not satisfactory, please see your POLARIS dealer for adjustment.

Throttle Cable Freeplay

1.Remove the four cover screws from the right handlebar control and remove the cover.

2.With the handlebars straight ahead, place very light pressure on the throttle lever. A gap of 2-3 mm should be visible between the throttle arm stop pin and the throttle arm.

If adjustment is needed:

1.Locate the throttle cable adjuster. Squeeze the end of the rubber boot and slide it back far enough to expose the in-line cable adjuster locknut.

2.Loosen the adjuster locknut.

3.Rotate the boot to turn the adjuster until 2-3 mm of freeplay is achieved between the stop pin and the throttle arm. While adjusting freeplay, flip the throttle lever back and forth repeatedly.
