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. _

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 4-23 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 8-59–
8-61 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 8-63–8-73 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 ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove the differential gear oil filler bolt and
check the oil level. It should be up to the brim
of the filler hole. If the level is low, add suffi-
cient oil of the recommended type to raise it
to the specified level.CAUTION:_ Be sure no foreign material enters the differen-
tial gear case. _3. Install the differential gear oil filler bolt.
