Throttle Pedal Inspection; Throttle Freeplay Adjustment - Polaris Ranger RZR SW Service Manual

MAINTENANCE

Throttle Pedal Inspection

If the throttle pedal has excessive play due to cable stretch or
cable misadjustment, it will cause a delay in throttle speed. Also,
the throttle may not open fully. If the throttle pedal has no play,
the throttle may be hard to control, and the idle speed may be
erratic.
Check the throttle pedal play periodically in accordance with the
Periodic Maintenance Chart and adjust the play if necessary.
