WARNING

If the throttle release switch does not shut off the engine during a throttle system malfunction, immediately push down the auxiliary engine stop switch. Do not start the engine again until the malfunction has been corrected by your dealer.
Test the throttle release switch system daily before operation.

  3. Press and hold the lever pivot as shown.
  4. While preventing the lever from pivoting, slightly push the throttle lever as shown. A properly functioning switch must shut down the engine.
