The front brake lever

is located on the right handlebar.

Pull it toward the handlebar to apply the front brake.

The brake pedal is located on the right side of the machine and the brake lever is located on the left handlebar. 
Push down on the pedal or pull the lever toward the handlebar to apply the rear brake.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Check the brake fluid level in the front brake master 
cylinder and in the rear brake cup before each use of 
the ATV. The front brake master cylinder is located on 
the right handlebar. The rear brake cup is near the rear 
brake pedal.
The front brake fluid level can be seen through an 
indicator window on the side of the master cylinder.  
When fluid lever is lower the 

lower

 line, refill 

with the same type of brake fluid.

Operating the ATV with a spongy brake lever can result in loss of braking, which could cause an accident.  
Never operate the ATV with a spongy-feeling brake lever.
Always test brake lever travel and master cylinder fluid level before riding.  When squeezed, the lever 
should feel firm.  Any sponginess would indicate a possible fluid leak or low master cylinder fluid level, 
which must be corrected before riding. Contact your dealer for proper diagnosis and repairs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An over-full master cylinder may cause brake drag or 
brake lock-up, which could result in serious injury or 
death. Maintain brake fluid at the recommended level. 
Do not overfill.

 When checking the fluid level, the ATV must 

be on level ground with the handlebars straight. 
If the fluid level is low, add DOT3 brake fluid 
only. 

Never store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs 
moisture from the air. The moisture causes the drop of boiling temperature of the brake fluid, which can lead 
to early brake fade and the possibility of accident or severe injury. After opening a bottle of brake fluid, 
always discard any unused portion.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When parking, stop the engine and shift the gear selector 
Lever

 into the park position.

Operating the ATV while the parking brake is engaged 
could result in an accident and serious injury or death.
Always check to be sure the parking brake is disengaged 
before operating.

The parking brake may relax if left on for a long period of time. Always block the wheels to prevent rolling.

Never depend on the parking brake alone if the ATV is parked on a hill. Always block the wheels on the 

downhill side of the ATV to prevent rolling. Another option is to park the ATV in a sidehill position.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The choke assists in starting a cold engine.  Refer to the engine starting procedure on page 60 for correct choke 
and throttle settings during starting.

The fuel tank filler cap 

 is located directly below the handlebar.

Remove the fuel tank filler cap by turning it counterclockwise.
Install the fuel tank filler cap by turning it clockwise.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.

Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
Always refuel with the engine stopped, and outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
Never fill a gas plastic container while it's in the racks.  Static electricity between the rack and container 
could cause a spark.
Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where refueling is performed or where 
gasoline is stored.
Do not overfill the tank. Do not fill the tank neck.
If gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap and water and change 
clothing.
Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area. Engine exhaust fumes are poisonous and can 
cause loss of consciousness or death in a short time.

The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other 
reproductive harm.
Operate this vehicle only outdoors or in well-ventilated areas.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The transmission gear selector 

 is located on the left side of the vehicle.

L: Low Gear
H: High Gear
N: Neutral
R: Reverse
P: Park
To shift into Reverse or Park, you must first apply the rear 
brake lever or pedal to activate the lock-out mechanism. 
When shifting out of Reverse or Park, it's necessary to apply 
the rear brake lever or pedal.

Shifting gears with the engine speed above idle or while the vehicle is moving could cause transmission 
damage. To change gears, stop the vehicle, and with the engine idling, move the lever to the desired gear.  
Apply the rear brake before attempting to shift into reverse or park.

Whenever the ATV is left unattended, always place the transmission in the park position.
Maintaining shift linkage adjustment is important to assure proper transmission function.  See your dealer if 
you experience any shifting problems.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To extend belt life, use low forward gear in heavy pulling situations and when operating at less than seven 
miles per hour for extended periods of time.
If towing the vehicle is necessary, shift the transmission into neutral for better mobility and to prevent damage 
to the belt.

If the battery is weak and cannot start the engine, use the recoil 
starter 

 will allow vehicle operation until repairs can be made. 

The recoil starter is located on the left side of the machine.
The engine is equipped with automatic decompressor. This 
makes recoil starting possible by allowing compression to

leak

at cranking speeds. The decompressor senses when the 

engine is spinning fast enough to start and restores compression 
for starting.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface, place the transmission in park.
2. Grasp the recoil starter rope handle tightly and pull slightly until the starter mechanism engages.
3. Pull the rope abruptly to start the engine.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extending the starter rope too far will cause damage to the recoil assembly.  Do not extend the starter rope so 
far that it stops.
If the starter rope handle is not seated properly, water may enter the recoil housing and damage components.  
Make sure the handle is fully seated on the recoil housing, especially when driving in wet areas.

This ATV is equipped with an on-command four-wheel drive 
switch

2WD

/

4WD

 and  a front gear lock switch

LOCK

/

4WD

.

Select the appropriate drive according to terrain and the conditions.

Two-wheel drive (2WD): Power is supplied to the rear wheels 
only.
Four-wheel drive (4WD): Power is supplied to the rear and 
front wheels.
Four-wheel drive with the front gear locked (4WD-LOCK): Power is supplied to the rear and front wheels 
when the front gear is locked (

DIFF.LOCK

). Unlike the 4WD mode, all wheels turn at the same speed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To change from 2WD to 4WD, stop the ATV, and then set the 

switch to

4WD

. When the ATV is in 4WD, the 4WD 

indicator

     

will come on in the dashboard display. To 

change from 4WD to 2WD, stop the ATV, be sure the lever

 

is set to position      , and then set the switch to

2WD

.

To lock the front gear in 4WD, make sure the on-command 

four-wheel-drive switch is set to

4WD

, stop the ATV, 

move the lever

 to position      , and then set the switch to

LOCK

. When the front gear is locked, the front gear lock 

indicator  (

DIFF.LOCK

) light will come on along with 

the indicator

      

 in the dashboard display.

To release the front gear lock, stop the ATV and set the switch to

4WD

.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the switch is set to

LOCK

, the front gear lock indicator light will flash until the front gear is 

locked.
When the indicator light is flashing, turning the handlebar left and right will help the front gear lock to 
engage.
Riding before the front 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 maximum traveling speed is limited to 35 km/h (22 mph). 
However, if conditions require full engine power to be available, push and hold the override switch to 
disable the 4WD-LOCK speed limiter. 

Once the engine is running, movement of the throttle lever will 
increase the engine speed. Regulate the speed of the machine 
by varying the throttle position. Because the throttle is spring-
loaded, the machine 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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Check the operation of the throttle lever before you start the engine. If it does not work smoothly, check for 
the cause. Correct the problem before riding the ATV. Consult your dealer if you can t find or solve the 

problem yourself.

The speed limiter keeps the throttle from fully opening, 
even when the throttle lever is pushed to the maximum.
Turning in the adjusting screw

 limits the maximum 

engine power available and decreases the maximum 
speed of the ATV.

Do not turn the adjusting screw out more than 12 mm (0.47 in). Always make sure the throttle lever free play 
is adjusted to 3-5 mm (0.12-0.20 in).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Functions of the respective switch positions are as follows:
ON:
The engine can be started only at this position and the headlights and taillight come on when the light switch is 
on. The key can not be removed in this position.
OFF:
All electrical circuits are switched off. The key can be removed in this position.
