Throttle lever
Once the engine is running, movement of the
throttle lever will increase the engine speed.
Regulate the speed of the machine by varying the
throttle position. Because the throttle is spring-
loaded, the machine will decelerate, and the en-
gine will return to an idle any time the hand is re-
moved 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
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
operation of the throttle lever before you start
the engine. If the throttle does not work
smoothly, check for the cause. Correct the
problem before riding the ATV or consult a
Yamaha dealer.

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.
WARNING
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 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 8-87.

CAUTION:

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


If accessories are used without the engine
running or with the headlights turned on,
the battery will lose its charge and engine
starting may become difficult.


Do not use an automotive cigarette lighter
or other accessories with a plug that gets
hot because the jack can be damaged.

CAUTION:_ Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded
gasoline will cause severe damage to internal
engine parts, such as the valves and piston
rings, as well as to the exhaust system. _
WARNING
_

Do not overfill the fuel tank. Fuel expands
when it heats up. If the fuel tank is over-
filled, fuel could spill out due to heat from
the engine or the sun.


Be careful not to spill fuel, especially on
the engine or exhaust pipe which can
cause a fire and severe injury. Wipe up any
spilled fuel immediately.


Do not refuel right after the engine has
been running and is still very hot.


Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed secure-
ly.
