Throttle Pedal Inspection - Polaris RANGER 2x4 Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION
THROTTLE PEDAL
INSPECTION
Throttle Freeplay
Throttle Pedal
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.
Throttle Freeplay Inspection
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Put the gear shift lever in the N (Neutral) position.
3. Start the engine, and warm it up thoroughly.
4. Measure the distance the throttle pedal moves
before the engine begins to pick up speed. Free
play should be 1/16 - 1/8 inches.
Adjustment
1. Slide the bolts off inline cable adjuster sleeve.
Loosen adjuster locknut.
2. Turn adjuster until 1/16, to 1/8,
achieved pedal. NOTE: While adjusting freeplay,
it is important you flip the throttle lever back and
forth.

adjuster until they touch at the mid point of

CHOKE (ENRICHER)
ADJUSTMENT
With the choke control pushed in, the choke plunger
must be seated on the fuel passage way in the
carburetor. If the plunger is not seated on the fuel
passage way inside the carburetor (not enough cable
freeplay), the engine will flood or run too rich, causing
plug fouling and poor performance.
