Introduction
Refer To Illustration 1:
The Polaris ATV Instrument Cluster is powered by
battery voltage (12 Vdc) and requires inputs from the
engine RPM, transmission gear, and speed sensor for
proper operation. Two harnesses plug into the cluster
head; one from the speed sensor, and one from the
vehicle main harness. A non-serviceable internal
memory battery maintains odometer and hour meter data
when the machine is not running. The illumination lamp
inside the gauge is non-serviceable and is designed to
last for the life of the unit. (A) The speedometer needle
indicates speed from an electronic speed sensor. The
needle also flashes during a warning condition. The
speedometer needle indicates speed in MPH and KPH.
NOTE: A flashing needle could indicate a hot engine,
low battery warning, or the No. 10 Pin could be
grounded. (B) The speedometer face features numbers
in Mile Per Hour (MPH) and Kilometers Per Hour (KPH).
(C) The Rider Information Center performs a number of
functions (See Illustration 2):
