SYSTEM Ignition Switch Brake Engine Stop Switch Throttle Safety Switch Tether Switch (Option) WHAT IT DOES Interrupts ignition circuit Slows jackshaft Interrupts ignition circuit Interrupts ignition circuit Interrupts ignition circuit THROTTLE CONDITION All All All All All WARNING Excessive or repetitive use of brakes for high speed stops will cause an overheated brake system. This overheated condition could cause sudden loss of brakes and/or fire, resulting in serious injury or death. When traveling on long downhill stretches, pump the brakes. Riding the brakes may cause the brake system to overheat and result in brake failure. Emergency Starting Your machine is equipped with a recoil under the hood for emergency starting. 1. Turn the key to ON. 2. Pull the kill switch (shut-off switch) up to RUN. 3. Grasp the starter handle and pull slowly until the recoil engages. 4. Slowly pull the recoil handle, rotating the engine until it becomes harder to pull. The engine is now near top dead center. 5. Allow the rope to partially retract into the recoil (until a comfortable stance for starting is achieved). 6. Pull the handle abruptly to start the engine. 61
