
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 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
throttle 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.
Speedometer/LCD
(Digital)

NOTE: All segments of the LCD
will activate for approximately two
seconds when the ignition switch is
rotated to the ON position.
CF236A
! WARNING
Never activate the override switch
while the throttle is open as a loss of
control may result.
