In an emergency, slide the switch to the
OFF position to stop the engine. Apply
the brakes to stop the wheels.
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 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
OHA007
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
OHA008
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 in
2WD and rear wheels plus one front
wheel in 4WD.
Power Steering
Certain ATV models have an Electronic
Power Steering (EPS) system to reduce
steering effort and driver fatigue over a
broad range of operating conditions.
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.
! 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.
