FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Throttle Lever
Engine speed and vehicle
movement are controlled by
pressing the throttle lever.
The throttle lever is spring
loaded. Engine speed returns
to idle when the lever is
released.
Failure to check or maintain proper operation of the throttle system can result in
an accident if the throttle lever sticks during operation. Check the lever for
proper operation before starting the engine. Check occasionally during
operation.
Do not start or operate a vehicle with sticking or improperly operating throttle
controls. Contact your dealer for repair if throttle problems arise.
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
This vehicle is equipped with Polaris Electronic Throttle Control (ETC),
which is designed to reduce the risk of a frozen or stuck throttle. If the
throttle cable should stick in an open position when the operator releases
the throttle lever, the engine will stop, and power to the rear wheels will
cease.
The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) stops the engine in the event of a throttle
system malfunction. Do not modify the ETC system or replace it with other
throttle mechanisms.
22
FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Brake Lever
Squeeze the brake lever toward the
handlebar to apply the front and
rear brakes. These brakes are
hydraulically activated disc type
brakes that are activated by only
one lever.
Always test brake lever travel and
master cylinder fluid level before
riding. When squeezed, the lever
should feel firm. Any sponginess
would indicate a possible fluid leak or low master cylinder fluid level,
which must be corrected before riding. Contact your dealer for proper
diagnosis and repairs.
Operating this vehicle with a spongy brake lever can result in loss of braking,
which could cause an accident. Never operate this vehicle with a spongy-feeling
brake lever.
23
FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Parking Brake
Operating this vehicle while the parking brake is engaged could result in an
accident and serious injury or death. Always check to be sure the parking brake
is disengaged before operating.
Locking the Parking Brake
1. Place the transmission in
gear.
2. Squeeze and release the brake
lever two or three times, then
squeeze and hold.
3. Push the parking brake lock
forward to engage the lock.
4. Release the brake lever.
5. To release the parking brake lock, squeeze and release the brake
lever. It will return to its unlocked position.
Important Safeguards
• The parking brake may relax if left on for a long period of time.
Always block the wheels to prevent rolling.
• Always block the wheels on the downhill side of this vehicle if leaving it parked on a hill. Another option is to park in a sidehill position.
• Never depend on the parking brake alone if this vehicle is parked on a
hill. Always block the wheels to prevent rolling.
24
FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Auxiliary Foot Brake
Auxiliary Foot Brake
The auxiliary brake system is intended to be used as a backup for the
main brake system. Should the main system fail, use the auxiliary foot
brake.
Aggressively applying the auxiliary brake when backing down a hill may cause
rear tipover, which could result in serious injury or death.
Use caution when applying the auxiliary brake. Do not aggressively apply the
auxiliary brake when going forward. The rear wheels may skid and slide sideways, causing loss of control and serious injury or death.
The auxiliary foot brake is
located on the inside of the
right footrest. Operate this
brake with your right foot.
If the rear wheels slide while
using the auxiliary brake,
reduce brake pedal pressure to
brake the rear wheels without
skidding.
Check the brake fluid level frequently for the auxiliary brake system.
See page 71.
