NOTE:_
When the switch is set to “LOCK”, the differ-
ential gear lock indicator light will flash until
the differential gear is locked.
When the indicator light is flashing, turning
the handlebar back and forth will help the dif-
ferential gear lock to engage.
Riding before the differential gear lock is
properly engaged (e.g., when the indicator
light is flashing) will cause the engine speed
to be limited until engagement is complete.
When the ATV is in 4WD-LOCK, the maxi-
mum traveling speed is limited to 35 km/h.
However, if conditions require full engine
power to be available, push and hold the
override switch to disable the “4WD-LOCK”
speed limiter. (See page 4-21 for a detailed
explanation of this switch.)

Differential gear oil
Make sure the differential gear oil is at the speci-
fied level. Add oil as necessary. (See pages 8-53–
8-55 for details.)
EBU13160
Coolant
Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir
when the engine is cold. (The coolant level will
vary with engine temperature.) The coolant level is
satisfactory if it is between the minimum and max-
imum level marks on the coolant reservoir. If the
coolant level is at or below the minimum level
mark, add distilled water to bring the level up to the
maximum level mark. Change the coolant every
two years. (See pages 8-57–8-67 for details.)CAUTION:_ Hard water or salt water is harmful to the en-
gine. You may use soft water if you cannot get
distilled water. _
Recommended oil:
SAE 80 API GL-4 Hypoid gear oil

Differential gear oil measurement
1. Place the machine on a level place.
2. Remove the oil filler bolt and check the oil lev-
el. It should be up to the brim of the hole. If
the level is low, add sufficient oil to raise it to
the specified level.CAUTION:
Be sure no foreign material enters the differen-
tial gear case. 3. Install the oil filler bolt and tighten it to the
specified torque.
