WARNING
Always turn off the engine when refueling.
Do not refuel right after the engine has
been running and is still very hot.
Do not spill gasoline on the engine or ex-
haust pipe/muffler when refueling. Never
refuel while smoking, or while in the vicin-
ity of sparks, open flames, or other sourc-
es of ignition such as the pilot lights of
water heaters and clothes dryers. Gaso-
line can catch fire and you could be
burned.
When transporting the machine in anoth-
er vehicle, be sure it is kept upright and
that the fuel cock is in the “OFF” position.
Otherwise, fuel may leak out of the carbu-
retor or fuel tank.
Gasoline is poisonous. If you should
swallow some gasoline or inhale a lot of
gasoline vapor, or get some gasoline in
your eyes, see your doctor immediately. If
gasoline spills on your skin, wash with
soap and water. If gasoline spills on your
clothing, change your clothes.

Coolant temperature warning light “”
When the coolant temperature reaches a specified
level, this light comes on to warn that the coolant
temperature is too hot. If the light comes on during
operation, stop the engine as soon as it is safe to
do so and allow the engine to cool down for about
10 minutes.CAUTION:_
The engine may overheat if the ATV is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the
load to specification.
After restarting, make sure that the light is
out. Continuous use while the light is on
may cause damage to the engine.

Differential gear lock switch “LOCK”/“4WD”
To lock the differential gear in 4WD, make sure the
on-command four-wheel-drive switch is set to
“4WD”, stop the ATV, move the lever to position
b, and then set the switch to “LOCK”. When the
differential gear is locked, the differential gear lock
indicator (“DIFF.LOCK”) light will come on along
with the indicator “” in the speedometer unit
display.
To release the differential gear lock, stop the ATV
and set the switch to “4WD”.
WARNING
_ Always ride at a slow speed when the ATV is in
4WD-LOCK, and allow extra time and distance
for maneuvers.
All wheels turn at the same speed when the dif-
ferential is locked, so it takes more effort to
turn the ATV. The amount of effort is more the
faster you go. You may lose control and have
an accident if you cannot make a sharp
enough turn for the speed you are traveling. _
