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.

Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the
fuel tank. The display segments of the fuel gauge
disappear towards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level de-
creases. When the “E” segment disappears and
the fuel level warning indicator flashes, set the fuel
cock to reserve and refuel as soon as possible.

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. _

WARNING
_ Always stop the ATV before changing from
2WD to 4WD, or from 4WD to 4WD-LOCK, or
vice-versa.
The ATV handles differently in 2WD than in
4WD and in 4WD-LOCK in some circumstanc-
es. Changing from 2WD to 4WD, or from 4WD
to 4WD-LOCK, or vice-versa while moving may
cause the ATV to unexpectedly handle differ-
ently. This could distract the operator and in-
crease the risk of losing control and an
accident. _

To lock the differential gear in 4WD, make sure the

“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”.
