OPERATION
Engine Stop Switch
Push down on the engine stop switch (A) to stop the engine in an emergency. This will ground out the ignition and bring the engine to a quick stop. To restart the engine, the switch must be pulled up to “ON.”
Throttle Safety Switch
Test the throttle safety switch system daily before operation.
While seated in a normal riding position, and with the engine idling, hold the throttle lever pin stationary by exerting pressure on the pivot pin in the direction shown in the illustration (B). Apply a slight amount of throttle. A properly functioning switch must shut down the engine.

The throttle safety switch is designed to stop the engine whenever all pressure is removed from the throttle lever and the throttle cable or valves do not return to the normal closed position.
WARNING
If the throttle safety switch does not shut off the engine during a carburetor/throttle system malfunction, immediately push down the engine stop switch. Do not start the engine until the malfunction has been corrected by your dealer.
