Accelerator pedal
Press the accelerator pedal down to increase en-

the rest position when released. Always check that
the accelerator pedal returns normally before start-
ing the engine.
Before starting the engine, check the accelerator
pedal to be sure it is operating smoothly. Make
sure the accelerator pedal fully returns to the idle
position as soon as it is released.
WARNING
Malfunction of the accelerator pedal could
make it difficult to speed up or slow down
when you need to. This could cause an acci-
dent. Check the operation of the accelerator
pedal before you start the engine. If the accel-
erator pedal does not work smoothly, check
for the cause. Correct the problem before oper-
ating the vehicle or consult a Yamaha dealer.

CAUTION:_

Do not use accessories requiring more
than the above maximum capacity. This
may overload the circuit and cause the
fuse to blow.

make sure they are working properly. If the brakes
do not provide proper braking performance, in-
spect the brake system. (See pages 8-83–8-91.)
