Reverse Override Switch

This ATV is equipped with a reverse speed limiter system. When addi-
tional RPM is needed in reverse, depress and hold the override switch.
Never activate the override switch while the throttle is open as
a loss of control may result. Use caution when using the over-
ride switch as reverse speed can greatly increase.
