FUEL SYSTEM

Throttle Cable Inspection

Check throttle lever free-play, adjust if
necessary.
If correct adjustment is unattainable,
see an authorized Can-Am dealer.
Inspect throttle cable for excessive
wear, kinking or fraying. Ensure cable
moves freely.
Replace throttle cable if any signs of
wear, fraying or other damage are
found.
Lubricate cable using silicone lubricant
(P/N 293 600 041) to reduce prema-
ture wear and to ensure proper move-
ment of the cable.
WARNING
Always use a silicone-based lubri-
cant. Using another lubricant (like
a water-based lubricant) could
cause the throttle lever/cable stick-
ing or stiffness.

Throttle Lever Adjustment

The normal throttle free-play is 5 to 10
mm (3/16 to 13/32 in).
