Speed limiter
The speed limiter keeps the throttle from fully
opening, even when the throttle lever is pushed
to the maximum. Screwing in the adjuster limits
the maximum engine power available and
decreases the maximum speed of the ATV.
w
Improper adjustment of the speed limiter and
throttle could cause throttle cable damage or
improper throttle operation. You could lose
control, have an accident or be injured. Do
not turn the speed adjuster out more than 15
mm or the throttle cable could be damaged.

Parking brake
Use the parking brake when you have to start
the engine or park the machine, especially on a
slope. Apply the rear brake lever and push down
the lock plate to apply the parking brake.
Squeeze the rear brake lever to release the

w
8Always set the parking brake before start-
ing the engine. The ATV could start mov-
ing unexpectedly if the parking brake is
not applied. This could cause loss of con-
trol or a collision.
8Always be sure you have released the
parking brake before you begin to ride.
The brake could overheat if you ride the
ATV without releasing the parking brake.
You could lose braking performance
which could cause an accident. You could
also wear out the brakes prematurely.

Parking on a slope
w
Avoid parking on hills or other inclines.
Parking on a hill or other incline could cause
the ATV to roll out of control, increasing the
chance of an accident. If you must park on
an incline, put the machine in low gear, apply
the parking brake, and block the front and
rear wheels with rocks or other objects.
Do not park the ATV at all on hills that are so
steep you could not walk up them easily.
1. Bring the machine to a stop by applying
the brakes in low gear.
2. Stop the engine.
3. With the rear brake lever and pedal
applied, apply the parking brake and slowly
release the rear brake pedal.
