On command four-wheel drive switch
“2WD/4WD”
To change from two-wheel drive (2WD) to four-
wheel drive (4WD), stop the ATV and set the
switch to the 4WD position.
To change from four-wheel drive (4WD) to two-
wheel drive (2WD), stop the ATV and set the
switch to the 2WD position.
WARNING
_ Always stop the ATV before changing from
2WD to 4WD or from 4WD to 2WD. The ATV
handles differently in 2WD than in 4WD in
some circumstances. Changing from 2WD to
4WD or vice-versa while moving may cause
the ATV to unexpectedly handle differently.
This could distract the operator and increase
the risk of losing control and an accident. _

RIDING DOWNHILL
When riding your ATV downhill, shift your weight
as far to the rear and uphill side of the ATV as pos-
sible. Move back on the seat and sit with your
arms straight. Engine compression will do most of
the braking for you. For maximum engine com-
pression braking effect, change to 4WD before be-
ginning to descend the hill. Improper braking may
cause a loss of traction.
Use caution while descending a hill with loose or
slippery surfaces. Braking ability and traction may
be adversely affected by these surfaces. Improper
braking may also cause a loss of traction.
When this ATV is in 4WD, all wheels (front and
rear) are interconnected by the drive train. This
means that applying either the front brake or the
rear brake will brake all wheels. When descending
hills, using either brake lever or the brake pedal
will brake the wheels on the downhill side. Avoid
sudden application of either the front or rear brake
because the wheels on the uphill side could come
off the ground. Apply both the front and rear
brakes gradually.
