Power Steering; Throttle Lever - Arctic Cat XR 500 Operator's Manual

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 throt-
tle 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.
2. Turn the throttle limiter screw clock-
wise to decrease engine RPM maxi-
mum or counterclockwise to increase
engine RPM maximum.
3. Tighten the jam nut securely.

NOTE: The ATV is equipped with
an RPM limiter that retards ignition
timing when
approached. When the RPM limiter is
activated, it could be misinterpreted
as a high-speed misfire.
Rear Foot Brake
Pressing the rear foot brake downward
will apply the brake to the rear wheels.

Power Steering

This ATV was produced with an Elec-
tronic Power Steering (EPS) system to
reduce steering effort and driver fatigue
over a broad range of operating condi-
tions.
The EPS system engages when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ON position
and disengages after approximately five
minutes (to conserve battery power) if
the engine is not running.
This system is entirely maintenance-free:
no adjustment or servicing is required.
There are no fluids to check or change,
and the EPS system is entirely self-con-
tained and sealed to protect it from the
elements.
The EPS system is battery system pow-
ered; therefore, the battery must be in
good condition and fully charged. Power
delivery and overload protection is pro-
vided by an EPS relay and 30-amp fuse
located under the passenger seat in the
Power Distribution Module (PDM).
The system is self-monitored and will
display a malfunction code on the LCD
gauge/speedometer should an EPS sys-
tem control circuit problem occur. Do not
operate the vehicle with an EPS malfunc-
tion code displayed.
