Engine Stop Switch
OFF position — The ignition circuit is off.
The engine cannot be started or will not
run. If the engine stop switch is used to
stop engine without turning off ignition
switch, the battery may discharge.
RUN position — The ignition circuit is
on. The engine can start and run.
Starter Button
Pushing in on this button activates the
starter motor. Before starting the engine,
make sure the ignition switch is in the
ON position, the transmission is in neu-
tral, and the brake lever lock is engaged.
NOTE: This ATV has safety inter-
lock switches which prevent the
starter motor from activating when
the transmission is not in neutral. To
start the ATV while in gear, depress
the rear foot brake or compress the
brake lever; then depress the starter
button.
Reverse Override Switch
This ATV is equipped with a speed lim-
iter system. When additional RPM is
needed in reverse, depress and hold the
override switch.
NOTE: The override switch is
active in reverse only.
Throttle Lever
XR068A
Control engine RPM with the position of
the throttle lever. Operate this lever with
the thumb. Pushing it forward increases
engine RPM and allowing it to retract
decreases engine RPM.
Throttle Limiter Screw
CF297D
Throttle lever travel may be limited by
adjusting the throttle limiter screw. The throt-
tle limiter should be adjusted according to the
operator’s skill and experience. To adjust the
throttle limiter, use the following procedure:
1. Loosen the jam nut.
2. Turn the throttle limiter screw clock-
wise to decrease engine RPM maxi-
mum or counterclockwise to increase
engine RPM maximum.
3. Tighten the jam nut securely.
NOTE: The ATV is equipped with
an RPM limiter that retards ignition
timing when maximum RPM is
approached. When the RPM limiter
is activated, it could be misinter-
preted as a high-speed misfire.
Rear Foot Brake
Pressing the rear foot brake downward
will apply the brake to the rear wheels.
! WARNING
Never activate the override switch
while the throttle is open as a loss of
control may result. Use caution when
using the override switch as reverse
speed can greatly increase.
