CAUTION:
Do not shift gears without releasing the throt-
tle. Damage to the engine or drive train may
occur.
When slowing down or stopping, release the
throttle and apply the brakes smoothly and
evenly. As you slow down, shift to a lower
gear. Be sure that the engine has sufficiently
slowed before engaging a lower gear. Improp-
er use of the brakes or shifting can cause the
tires to lose traction, reducing control and in-
creasing the possibility of an accident.
WARNING
Make sure the engine has sufficiently slowed
before shifting to a lower gear. Engaging a
lower gear when the engine speed is too high
could cause the wheels to stop rotating.

CROSSING THROUGH SHALLOW WATER
The ATV can be used to cross slow moving,
shallow water of up to a maximum of 35 cm in
depth. Before entering the water, choose your
path carefully. Enter where there is no sharp
drop off, and avoid rocks or other obstacles
which may be slippery or upset the ATV. Drive
slowly and carefully.
WARNING
Never operate this ATV in fast flowing water
or in water deeper than that specified in your
Owner’s Manual. Remember that wet brakes
may have reduced stopping ability. Test your
brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply
them several times to let friction dry out the
linings. If the ATV is operated through deep or
fast flowing water, the tires may float, causing
loss of traction and loss of control, which
could lead to an accident.

Drive chain slack check
Inspect the drive chain while all tires are touch-
ing the ground. Check the slack at the position
shown in the figure. The normal vertical deflec-
tion is approximately 30 ~ 40 mm. If the deflec-
tion exceeds 40 mm, adjust the chain slack.
