Tether Switch and Cap for Polaris Edge LX550 2008

Tether Switch and Cap for Polaris

This tether switch and cap assembly is a safety cut-off device that stops the engine when the rider separates from the machine, and it installs in place of the factory unit on the listed Polaris models.

Overview

This tether switch and cap for Polaris keeps the engine kill circuit tied to the rider. When the lanyard pulls free, the tether switch grounds the ignition and shuts the engine down, which makes this tether switch and cap a practical replacement for a worn or missing original on trail and utility machines alike.

Built For Performance

• Spring-loaded plunger closes the kill circuit the moment the lanyard is pulled
• Capped design keeps the contact point shielded from snow, mud, and spray
• Compact housing fits the stock mounting location without modification
• Simple two-wire hookup matches the original kill switch wiring
• Corrosion-resistant external finish for repeated seasonal use
• Direct replacement footprint for the listed Polaris applications

Fits These Machines

• for Polaris Edge LX550, 2008
• for Polaris Edge 340, 2008

On-The-Job Use

• Trail riding where a working safety cut-off is required
• Utility and work duty on the listed Polaris machines
• Restoring a sled that arrived without its original tether
• Routine replacement of a stiff or intermittent kill switch

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Does this come with the lanyard cord? A: The listing covers the tether switch and cap, and the lanyard is not included unless shown separately. A: Fitment on a specific Polaris Edge machine is best confirmed by comparing the connector and mounting point against the part being replaced.

Q: Will this work if my original tether is intermittent? A: A failing tether switch typically causes random engine cutouts, and replacing it with a fresh switch and cap restores a dependable contact. A: Check the wiring harness and ground point at the same time so the new switch is not chasing an unrelated fault.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
