ETC Operation

When the throttle is closed (idle) the throttle arm depresses a
small micro switch that limits engine rpm.
Micro Switch
When the throttle lever is pushed forward the throttle arm moves
off the micro switch and allows the engine rpm to increase with
lever movement.
If the throttle cable would become hung up or stuck while the
ATV is being operated, the spring loaded throttle arm will return
back and depress the micro switch, limiting engine rpm.
