FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Electrical Switches

Engine Stop Switch (3) - The engine will

not start or run when the switch is in the 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.

Light Switches

The light switch is located on the

left handlebar (1). It’s used to turn

the lights on and off and to switch

the lights from HI to LO on models

equipped with HI/LO beams.

NOTE: The lights won’t work

unless the key is in the ON position

and the shut-off switch is in the

RUN position.
