FEATURES

All Wheel Drive (AWD) System

The AWD system is activated

by a switch (1) on the right

handlebar.

When the switch is on 2X4

(center position), the ATV is

in two wheel drive at all

times and the differential is locked.

When the switch is on AWD (left position), the ATV is in AWD and

the differential is l ocked. When in AWD, the front gearcase will

automatically engage any time the rear wheels lose t raction. When the

rear wheels regain traction, the front gearcase will automatically

disengage. There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may

remain in AWD.

NOTE: The override switch allows activation of AWD in reverse if the

AWD switch is on. See page 36.

When the switch is on TURF (right position), the differential is open,

allowing the inside wheel to rotate independently from the outside

wheel during turns. Operate this vehicle in TURF mode only to protect

smooth, level surfaces from tire damage. Otherwise, switch out of

TURF mode.

WARNING

Operating in TURF mode when on sloped, uneven, or loose

terrain could cause loss of control and result in serious injury or

death. One rear wheel may slip and lose traction or may lift up

and grab when it touches the ground again.

DO NOT operate in TURF mode when climbing or descending

hills, when sidehilling, or when operating on uneven, loose, or

slippery terrain conditions such as sand, gravel, ice, snow,

obstacles, and water crossings.

Switch the All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system out of TURF mode

whenever it is not required.
