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
decreases the maximum speed of the ATV.
w
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 adjusting screw out more than
12 mm or the throttle cable could be dam-
aged. Always make sure the throttle lever
free play is adjusted to 2–4 mm. See page
8-69.

Parking on a slope

Avoid parking on hills or other inclines.
Parking 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, put the machine in low gear, 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 easily.
1. Bring the machine to a stop by applying
the front brake.
2. With the front and rear brake applied, pull
the clutch lever, shift into the neutral posi-
tion, and then apply the parking brake.
3. Stop the engine by setting the engine stop
switch to “OFF”.

Speed limiter
For riders inexperienced with this model, this
model is equipped with a speed limiter in the
throttle lever housing. The speed limiter limits
the power and top speed of the ATV. Turning
the adjusting screw in decreases the top speed,
and turning it out increases the top speed. (See
page 4-15 for details.)
Loading and accessories
As originally equipped, this ATV is not designed
to carry cargo or tow a trailer. If you choose to
add accessories so that you can carry cargo or
tow a trailer, you must use common sense and
good judgment.
Use extra caution when riding the ATV with
additional loads, such as accessories or cargo.
The ATV’s handling may be adversely affected.
Reduce your speed when adding additional
loads.
