Engine speed is controlled by the Engine Throttle Control Grip.
• Turn the Engine Throttle Control Grip counterclockwise (toward the operator) to increase engine speed (Figures
9 1
and
9 3
).
• Turn the Engine Throttle Control Grip clockwise (away from operator) to reduce engine speed.
Engine Throttle Tension Adjustment Screw is a throttle lock, i.e. cruise control (Figure
9 2
).
CAUTION: The Engine Throttle Tension Adjustment Screw
locks
the throttle.
Unscrew the Engine Throttle Tension Adjustment Screw such that the throttle control returns to the
idle position when the operator’s hand is removed. This is the normal operating tension for the throttle
control grip.
The Engine Throttle Tension Adjustment Screw may be screwed in from the normal operating tension to reduce
the continuous grip pressure that the operator must apply to keep the Engine Throttle Control Grip activated. This
will reduce operator fatigue on long highway trips.
