CONTROL AND PARTS FUNCTIONS

Engine Electrical Switches

1. Override Switch (Reverse

Speed Limiter) - This vehicle is

equipped with a reverse speed lim-

iter 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 De-

mand 4 Drive switch is on.
2. Main Switch - This key switch must be turned clockwise to the

“on” position to start the engine (includes start feature on some

models.).
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. To stop the engine, slide the

stop switch right or left to the “off” position.
4. Engine Start Button - To start the engine, slide the stop switch

to the center “run” position and push up. Some models start by

turning the main key switch clockwise past the “on” position.
