Tether Switch and Cap for Polaris

This tether switch and cap assembly is a safety cutoff component that stops the engine when the rider's tether cord is pulled free, built as a replacement for Polaris snowmobiles.

Overview

This tether switch and cap serves as the rider safety cutoff for your snowmobile, cutting ignition the moment the tether cord separates from the switch.

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: What does the tether switch actually do? A: It grounds or opens the ignition circuit when the tether cord pulls away from the cap, shutting the engine off. This keeps the machine from running away if the rider separates from it.

Q: Will this plug into my stock wiring? A: It is built as a replacement style tether switch and cap for the listed Polaris model and connects to the factory kill circuit wiring. Confirm your connector style and wiring before ordering.

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