NOTE:

● If the differential gear lock is not engaging prop-

erly, turn the handlebar back and forth to help it

engage.

● Riding before the differential gear lock is proper-

ly engaged will cause the engine speed to be

limited until engagement is complete.

● When the ATV is in four-wheel-drive differential

gear lock, the maximum traveling speed is limit-

ed to 31 km/h (19 mi/h). However, if conditions

require full engine power to be available, push

and hold the override switch to disable the differ-

ential gear lock speed limiter. (See page 4-6 for

a detailed explanation of this switch.)

EBU18270

Once the engine is running, movement of the throt-

tle lever will increase the engine speed.

Regulate the speed of the ATV by varying the

throttle position. Because the throttle is spring-

loaded, the ATV will decelerate, and the engine will

return to an idle any time the hand is removed from

the throttle lever.

Before starting the engine, check the throttle to be

sure it is operating smoothly. Make sure it returns

to the idle position as soon as the lever is released.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

Always ride at a slow speed when the ATV is

in differential gear lock, and allow extra time

and distance for maneuvers.
