NOTE: This ATV has safety interlock
switches which prevent the starter
motor from activating when the trans-
mission 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 reverse
speed limiter system. When additional
RPM is needed in reverse, depress and
hold the override switch.
NOTE: The reverse override switch
is active in 4WD only.
Throttle Lever
FI475B
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
ATV-0053
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 misinterpreted
as a high-speed misfire.
Rear Foot Brake
CF117
Pressing the rear foot brake downward
will apply the brake to the rear wheels.
Power Steering
Some ATV’s were produced with an
Electronic Power Steering (EPS) system
to reduce steering effort and rider fatigue
over a broad range of operating condi-
tions.
The EPS system engages when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ON position
and disengages after approximately five
minutes (to conserve battery power) if
the engine is not running.
This system is entirely maintenance-free:
no adjustment or servicing is required.
There are no fluids to check or change,
and the EPS system is entirely self-con-
tained and sealed to protect it from the
elements.
The EPS system is battery system pow-
ered; therefore, the battery must be in
good condition and fully charged. Power
delivery and overload protection is pro-
vided by an EPS relay and 30-amp fuse
located under the seat in the Power Dis-
tribution Module (PDM).
! WARNING
Never activate the override switch
while the throttle is open as a loss of
control may result.
