Speed limiter
The speed limiter keeps the throttle from fully
opening, even when the throttle lever is pushed to
the maximum. Turning in the adjusting screw limits
the maximum engine power available and de-
creases the maximum speed of the ATV.
WARNING

throttle could cause throttle cable damage or
improper throttle operation. You could lose
control, have an accident or be injured. Do not
turn the adjusting screw out more than 12 mm
or the throttle cable could be damaged. Always
make sure the throttle lever free play is adjust-
ed to 3–5 mm. See page 8-61. _

Parking on a slope
WARNING
_ Avoid parking on hills or other inclines. Park-
ing 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, place the machine transversely across
the incline, 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 easi-
ly. _1. Bring the machine to a stop by applying the
brakes.
2. Stop the engine.
3. With the rear brake lever and pedal applied,
apply the parking brake, and then slowly re-
lease the brake pedal.

Speed limiter
For riders less experienced with this model, this
model is equipped with a speed limiter in the throt-
tle lever housing. The speed limiter keeps the
throttle from fully opening, even when the throttle
lever is pushed to the maximum. Turning the ad-
justing screw in limits the maximum engine power
available and decreases the maximum speed of
the ATV. Turning the adjusting screw in decreases
the top speed and turning it out increases the top
speed.
Loading and accessories
Use extra caution when riding the ATV with addi-
tional loads, such as accessories or cargo. The
ATV’s handling may be adversely affected. Re-
duce your speed when adding additional loads.

backwards. Apply the front brake. When
fully stopped, apply the rear brake as well,
and then lock the parking brake.
Dismount on uphill side or to a side if pointed
straight uphill. Turn the ATV around and re-
mount, following the procedure described in
