OPERATION
Engine Stop Switch
Push down on the engine stop
switch (A) to stop the engine in an
emergency. This will ground out
the ignition and bring the engine to
a quick stop. To restart the engine,
the switch must be pulled up to
“ON.”
Throttle Safety Switch
Test the throttle safety switch
system daily before operation.
While seated in a normal riding
position, and with the engine
idling, hold the throttle lever pin
stationary by exerting pressure on
the pivot pin in the direction shown
in the illustration (B). Apply a
slight amount of throttle. A
properly functioning switch
must
shut down the engine.
The throttle safety switch is designed to stop the engine whenever all
pressure is removed from the throttle lever and the throttle cable or
valves do not return to the normal closed position.

If the throttle safety switch does not shut off the engine during a
carburetor/throttle system malfunction, immediately push down
the engine stop switch. Do not start the engine until the
malfunction has been corrected by your dealer.
