4-8 Control Functions
Throttle lever
Once the engine is running, movement of the
throttle lever will increase the engine speed.
Regulate the speed of the machine by
varying the throttle position. Because the
throttle is spring-loaded, the machine will
decelerate, and the engine will return to an
idle any time the hand is removed from the
throttle lever.
Before starting the engine, check the throttle
to be sure it is operating smoothly. Make sure
it returns to the idle position as soon as the
lever is released.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Malfunction of throttle.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The throttle could be hard to operate, making
it difficult to speed up or slow down when you
need to. This could cause an accident.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Check the operation of the throttle lever
before you start the engine. If it does not work
smoothly, check for the cause. Correct the
problem before riding the ATV. Consult a
dealer if you can’t find or solve the problem
yourself.
