EBU00565Speed 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.wImproper 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
12mm or the throttle cable could be dam-
aged. Always make sure the throttle lever
free play is adjusted to 3.0 ~ 5.0 mm. See
page 8-43.

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

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.

the ATV to roll out of control, increasing the
chance of an accident. If you must park on

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.
2. Stop the engine.

ing brake.
