4To access the “4WD/LOCK” switch, set the
“2WD/4WD” switch to “4WD”, and then move the
drive switch lock lever to the right.
TIPWhen the switch is set to “LOCK” or “4WD”, the
differential gear lock icon and indicator light will
flash until the differential gear is completely
locked or unlocked.
When the icon and indicator light are flashing,
turning the handlebar back and forth will help
the differential gear lock to engage or disen-
gage.
Riding before the differential gear is properly en-
gaged or disengaged (e.g., when the icon and
indicator light are flashing) will cause the vehicle
speed to be limited until the differential gear is
completely engaged or disengaged.
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 dif-
ferential gear lock speed limiter. (See page
4-12.)
WARNING
EWB00141Always 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 you
are traveling.

WARNING
EWB02522Gasoline and gasoline vapors are extremely
flammable. To avoid fires and explosions and
to reduce the risk of injury when refueling, fol-
low these instructions. 1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and besure that no one is sitting on the vehicle. Nev-
er refuel while smoking, or while in the vicinity of sparks, open flames, or other sources of
ignition such as the pilot lights of water heat-
ers and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the pump nozzle into the fuel
tank filler hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler tube. Because
fuel expands when it heats up, heat from the
engine or the sun can cause fuel to spill out of
the fuel tank.1. Fuel tank cap
