Throttle Lever

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
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 (1).
2. Turn the throttle limiter screw (2)
clockwise to decrease engine RPM
maximum or counterclockwise to
increase engine RPM maximum.
3. Tighten the jam nut securely.

Fuel Valve

The fuel valve is incorporated in the gas
tank. There are three positions: ON, RES
(reserve), and OFF.
46
In the OFF position, the valve will pre-
vent gasoline flow to the carburetor. In
the ON position (the normal operating
position), gasoline will flow from the
tank to the carburetor. In this position,
4.54 L (1.2 U.S. gal.) will remain in the
tank as a reserve quantity.
KM122A
Moving the valve to the reserve (RES)
position will allow the operator to use the
remaining gasoline in the tank. When
turning the valve to any of the three posi-
tions, be sure the indicator is pointed
directly at the position desired.
! WARNING
Leaving the fuel valve in the ON or
RES position when the engine is off
can be hazardous. The carburetor
may overflow and fuel may run into
the engine. This can cause a fire or
cause severe damage to the ATV
when the engine is started. Always
leave the fuel valve in the OFF posi-
tion when the engine is not running.
