Starter Lever ACE-028A 2. Turn the throttle limiter screw (B) clockwise to decrease engine RPM maximum or counterclockwise to increase engine RPM maximum. ACE-004E Pulling this lever activates the starter motor. Before starting the engine, make sure the ignition switch is in the ON posi- tion, the transmission is in neutral, and the brake lever lock is engaged. NOTE: This ATV has safety inter- lock switches which prevent the starter motor from activating when the transmission is not in neutral. 3. Tighten the jam nut securely. NOTE: The ATV is equipped with an RPM limiter that retards ignition timing when maximum RPM is approached.
When the RPM limiter is activated, it could be misinter- preted as a high-speed misfire. Throttle Lever Power Steering This model is produced with an Elec- tronic Power Steering (EPS) system to reduce steering effort and rider fatigue over a broad range of operating condi- tions. The EPS system engages when the igni- tion switch is turned to the ON position and disengages after approximately five minutes (to conserve battery power) if the engine is not running. FI475B Control engine RPM with the position of the throttle lever. Operate this lever with the thumb. Pushing it forward increases engine RPM and allowing it to retract decreases engine RPM. This system is entirely maintenance-free:
no adjustment or servicing is required. There are no fluids to check or change, and the EPS system is entirely self-con- tained and sealed to protect it from the elements. Throttle Limiter Screw Throttle lever travel may be limited by adjusting the throttle limiter screw. The throttle limiter should be adjusted according to the operator’s skill and experience. To adjust the throttle limiter, use the following procedure. The EPS system is battery system pow- ered; therefore, the battery must be in good condition and fully charged. Power delivery and overload protection is pro- vided by an EPS relay and 30-amp fuse located under the seat in the Power Dis- tribution Module (PDM). 1.
Loosen the jam nut (A). The system is self-monitored and will display a “P0635” malfunction code on the LCD gauge/speedometer should an EPS system control circuit problem occur. Do not operate the ATV with a “P0635” malfunction code displayed. 38
