WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
(1) Malfunctioning throttle
(2) Incorrect freeplay
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
(1) The throttle must return to to the closed position
when you release it. If it sticks you can lose the
ability to accelerate and decelerate the engine
which could result in an accident where you could
be seriously injured or killed.
(2) The throttle freeplay must be maintained as
specified, otherwise the engine speed could
increase when the handlebars are turned or when
the throttle is slightly grasped. Either situation
could result in an unexpected acceleration of the
engine where you could be seriously injured or
killed.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
(1) Test the operation of the throttle before each ride.
Make sure it operates smoothly (with no sticking or
binding) in all steering positions. It should return
automatically to the closed position when released.
(2) Make sure the throttle freeplay is adjusted as
specified. See “throttle Freeplay” starting on
page 38.
(1 & 2) If the throttle malfunctions or you can not
adjust the throttle to the specified freeplay, do not
ride the vehicle. Contact an authorized Cannondale
motorsports for servicing.
