Throttle Lever; Adjusting The Throttle Cable; Electrical Battery - E-TON Viper 70 Owner's Manual

Throttle Lever

The throttle lever is located beside the right-
handlebar grip and is operated by using the
right-hand thumb. The lever is spring loaded
and will return to the idle position when you
remove your thumb from the lever. To
accelerate the unit, simply press the lever
forward to open the throttle slide in the
carburetor. To slow the unit, reduce the
pressure on the lever or remove your thumb
and the throttle will return to the idle position
automatically.

Adjusting the throttle cable

The cable should be adjusted to allow for ⅛" free
travel before the throttle engages the carburetor
throttle slide. To adjust the cable's free travel,
loosen the locking nut of the cable adjuster, and
turn the adjuster wheel until there is ⅛" free travel
in the lever. Tighten the locking nut to secure the
adjusting ring.
The speed of the unit can be adjusted by
adjusting the throttle stop screw to limit throttle
travel. Loosen the throttle stop screw locking
nut and turn the throttle stop screw clockwise to
reduce the throttle travel thus reducing the

maximum speed of the unit. Turning the stop
screw counter clockwise will increase the throttle
travel thus increasing the maximum speed of the
unit. Tighten the stop screw locking nut when the
desired throttle travel has been established.
NOTE: Your unit includes an electronic speed
control that is set to limit the maximum speed of
the unit to the standards set by the CPSC for the
age of the rider the unit was designed for.

Electrical Battery

The unit's battery is located under the seat and
supplies electrical power to the unit. The battery is
a 12 volt jell acid type that contains no liquid
electrolyte. The battery should be removed from
the vehicle when stored for extended periods and
charged before being replaced in the unit. Use a
trickle charger set at 12 volts to recharge the
battery to full charge before replacing it in the unit.
When reinstalling the battery, be sure to connect the
red cable to the positive (+) terminal and the black
cable to the negative (-) terminal.
The battery should be replaced every three years or
when it no longer holds a charge.
