To release the differential gear lock, stop the ATV
and push the switch to the “4WD” position.
WARNING
EWB00130Always stop the ATV before changing from
four-wheel drive to four-wheel-drive differen-
tial gear lock or vice-versa.
The ATV handles differently in four-wheel drive
than in differential gear lock in some circum-
stances. Changing from four-wheel drive to dif-
ferential gear lock or vice-versa while moving
may cause the ATV to handle differently unex-pectedly. This could distract the operator and
increase the risk of losing control and causing
an accident.
WARNING
EWB00140Always ride at a slow speed when the ATV is in
differential gear lock, and allow extra time and
distance for maneuvers.
All wheels turn at the same speed when the dif-
ferential gear is locked, so it takes more effort
to turn the ATV. The effort needed to turn in-
creases with the riding speed. You may lose
control and have an accident if you cannot
make a sharp enough turn for the speed youare traveling.NOTE:
When the switch is set to “LOCK”, the differential
gear lock indicator and indicator light will flash
until the differential gear is locked.
When the indicator and indicator light are flash-
ing, turning the handlebar back and forth will
help the differential gear lock to engage.

Riding before the differential gear lock is proper-
ly engaged (e.g., when the indicator and indica-
tor light are flashing) will cause the engine speed
to be limited until engagement is complete.
When the ATV is in four-wheel-drive differential
gear lock, the maximum traveling speed is limit-
ed to 35 km/h (22 mi/h). However, if conditions
require full engine power to be available, push
and hold the override switch to disable the differ-
ential gear lock speed limiter. (See page 4-7 fora detailed explanation of this switch.)EBU18280Throttle lever Once the engine is running, movement of the throt-
tle lever will increase the engine speed.
Regulate the speed of the ATV by varying the
throttle position. Because the throttle is spring-
loaded, the ATV will decelerate, and the engine will
return to an idle any time the hand is removed from
the throttle lever.Before starting the engine, check the throttle to be
sure it is operating smoothly. Make sure it returns
to the idle position as soon as the lever is released.
WARNING
EWB00250Malfunction of the throttle could make it diffi-
cult to speed up or slow down when you need
to. This could cause an accident. Check the op-
eration of the throttle lever before you start the
engine. If the throttle does not work smoothly,
check for the cause. Correct the problem be-fore riding the ATV or consult a Yamaha dealer.1. Throttle lever

cover it with the cap.
CAUTION:ECB00120
Do not use accessories requiring more than
the above maximum capacity. This may
overload the circuit and cause the fuse to
blow.
If accessories are used without the engine
running or with the headlights turned on, the
battery will lose its charge and engine start-
ing may become difficult.
Do not use an automotive cigarette lighter or
other accessories with a plug that gets hotbecause the jack can be damaged.
