Basic Operation & Riding 86
Starting & Stopping the Engine
You can restart the engine while the vehicle is stopped by squeezing
the front brake lever and pressing the start/over ride button.
Do not press the throttle lever while starting in gear. The engine will
not start if the throttle is fully open (because the electronic control
module cuts off the fuel supply).
Once you have started the engine, release the front brake lever, then
apply throttle gradually.
Normal Engine Stop
To stop the engine, make sure the transmission is in neutral by
checking that the neutral indicator light is on, then turn the ignition
switch OFF (
w
).
The engine stop switch should normally remain in the RUN (
e
)
position even when the engine is OFF.
If your ATV is stopped with the engine stop switch OFF (
r
) and the
ignition switch ON (
q
), the battery will discharge.
Emergency Engine Stop
To stop the engine in an emergency, use the engine stop switch. To
operate, slide the switch to either OFF (
r
) position.
