satisfactory, please see your Polaris dealer for adjustment.

Throttle Cable Freeplay

1. Remove the four cover
screws from the right han-
dlebar control and remove
the cover.
2. With the handlebars
straight ahead, place very
light pressure on the throt-
tle 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 lock-
nut.
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.
