EBU18070
Engine stop switch “ENG. STOP”
Set this switch to “RUN” before starting the engine.
The engine stop switch controls the ignition and
stops the engine when it is running. Use this switch
to stop the engine in an emergency situation. The
engine will not start or run when this switch is set
to “OFF”.
EBU18140
Light switch “LIGHTS”
Set this switch to “LO” to turn on the low beams
and the taillight. Set the switch to “HI” to turn on the
high beams and the taillight. Set the switch to
“OFF” to turn off all the lights.CAUTION:
ECB00040
Do not use the headlights with the engine
turned off for an extended period of time, oth-
erwise the battery may discharge to the point
that the starter motor will not operate properly.
If this should happen, remove the battery and
recharge it.
EBU18280
Throttle lever
Once the engine is running, movement of the throt-
tle lever will increase the engine speed.
Regulate the speed of the ATV by varying the
throttle position. Because the throttle is spring-
loaded, the ATV will decelerate, and the engine will
return to an idle any time the hand is removed from
the throttle lever.

Before starting the engine, check the throttle to be
sure it is operating smoothly. Make sure it returns
to the idle position as soon as the lever is released.
WARNING
EWB00250
Malfunction of the throttle could make it diffi-
cult to speed up or slow down when you need
to. This could cause an accident. Check the op-
eration of the throttle lever before you start the
engine. If the throttle does not work smoothly,
check for the cause. Correct the problem be-
fore riding the ATV or consult a Yamaha dealer.
EBU18300
Throttle OverRide System
If during operation, the carburetor or the throttle ca-
ble should malfunction and will not close fully, take
your thumb off the throttle lever.
The throttle override system immediately cuts off
the ignition.
WARNING
EWB00260
Riding with a malfunction increases the
chance for an accident and injury. Make sure
that the cause of the malfunction is corrected
before restarting the engine or have the ATV in-
spected by a Yamaha dealer.
EBU18321

Your ATV was delivered with an adjustable speed
limiter. The speed limiter keeps the throttle from
fully opening, even when the throttle lever is
pushed to the maximum.

able and the maximum speed of the ATV, turn
the adjusting screw in direction (a). To de-
crease the maximum engine power available

improper throttle operation. You could lose
control, have an accident or be injured. Do not
turn the adjusting screw out more than 12 mm
(0.47 in) or the throttle cable could be dam-aged. Always make sure the throttle lever free
play is adjusted to 4.0–6.0 mm (0.16–0.24 in).

expectedly if the parking brake is not ap-
plied. This could cause loss of control or a

ing brake before you begin to ride. The brake
could overheat if you ride the ATV without re-
leasing the parking brake. You could lose
braking performance which could cause an
accident. You could also wear out the brakes
