Electrical Switches CONTROLS 3 1 2 WARNING Activating the override switch while the throttle is open can cause loss of control, resulting in severe injury or death. Do not activate the override switch while the throttle is open. Override Switch (1) (Reverse Speed Limiter) - This OFF RUN OFF vehicle is equipped with a reverse speed limiter system. To gain additional power while backing, depress the override switch. NOTE: The override 3 switch also allows activation of Demand 4 Drive (All Wheel Drive) in reverse, if the Demand 4 Drive switch is on. Main Switch (2) - To start the engine, slide the stop switch to the center "run" position and turn the main key switch clockwise past the "on" position. Release the key when the engine starts. NOTE: Turn off the main switch to end all electrical power to the vehicle, including the cooling fan and lights. WARNING Leaving the keys in the ignition can lead to unauthorized use of the vehicle resulting in serious injury or death. Always remove the ignition key when the vehicle is not in use. Engine Stop Switch (3) - 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 an emergency. To stop the engine, slide the stop switch either right or left to the "off" position. NOTE: Turning off the engine stop switch will shut off all electrical power to the vehicle, with the exception of the cooling fan on some models. On those models, use the main switch to shut off the power to the cooling fan. 37
