tion switch is in the LIGHTS
position. When the switch is in
the HI position, the high beam

ning light position and the taillights and running lights will illumi-
nate.
Emergency Stop Switch
OFF position — The ignition circuit is off. The engine cannot be started
or will not run. If the emergency stop switch is used to stop engine with-
out turning off ignition switch, the battery may discharge.
RUN position — The ignition circuit is on. The engine can start and run.
Starter Button
Pushing in on this button activates the starter motor. Before starting
the engine, make sure the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
transmission is in neutral, and the brake lever lock is engaged.

NOTE: This ATV has safety interlock switches which pre-
vent the starter motor from activating when the transmis-
sion is not in neutral.

Reverse Override Switch

This ATV is equipped with a reverse speed limiter system. When
additional 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.
Throttle Lever
Control engine RPM with the
CF245A
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 throt-
tle 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.
2. Turn the throttle limiter screw clockwise to decrease engine
RPM maximum or counterclockwise to increase engine RPM
maximum.
3. Tighten the jam nut securely.
