Engine Electrical Switches
1. Override Switch (Reverse Speed Limiter) - This vehicle is equipped with a re-
verse speed limiter system. To obtain additional power while backing up, depress
the override button. WARNING: Never activate the override button while throttle
is open as loss of control may result, causing severe personal injury or death.
NOTE: The override switch also allows activation of Demand 4 Drive (All Wheel
Drive) in reverse, if Demand 4 Drive switch is on.
2. Main Switch - This switch must be turned clockwise to the “on” position to start
the engine.
3. Emergency Engine Stop Switch - The engine will not start or run when the
switch is in its “off” position. Its purpose is to provide the operator with a quick
means of engine shutdown in case of stuck throttle or other emergency.
NOTE: Both the main switch and the emergency engine stop switch shut off all
electrical power to the entire vehicle including lights.
4. Engine Start Button - Press to start the engine.

speed override switch system unless additional power is required for ve-
hicle movement.
Avoid backing on steep inclines.
Avoid turning at sharp angles in reverse.
