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.
