Ignition Switch

WARNING: 

Never leave a running machine 

unattended. Always set parking brake, stop engine 
and remove key to prevent unintended starting. 

The ignition switch is located to the right of the steering wheel 
on the left side of the dash panel. To start the engine, insert the 
key into the ignition switch and turn clockwise to the START 
position. Release the key into the Run position once engine has 

fired. See Fig. 3-1.
Refer to Starting The Engine in the Operation Section of this 

manual for detailed starting instructions.

Warning Light Cluster

The warning light cluster is located in the middle of the dash 

panel. See Fig. 3-2. There are four warning lights: battery, parking 

brake light, engine oil pressure light, and low fuel light.

The engine oil pressure light activates when engine has low oil 
pressure. The battery light will indicate that the battery is low on 
power. The low fuel light activates when fuel is low in the tank. 
The parking light indicates that the parking brake is engaged.

Hour Meter

The hour meter is located in the center of the warning light 
cluster. It reads the elapsed time key is in the Run or Accy. 

position. See Fig. 3-2.

NOTE: 

Every 50 hours a “change oil” message will flash on the 

display for 2 minutes every time the UV is started. This message 

will repeat for the first two minutes after each 50 hour interval. 

The oil pressure indicator light will also flash when this display 
is active. Before the interval expires, change the crankcase oil as 
instructed in the Engine Manual.

Accelerator Pedal

The accelerator pedal is located on the right side of the floor 
beneath the dash panel. Depressing the accelerator pedal will 
move the vehicle in the direction selected on the gearshift. As 
the pedal is depressed, speed will increase to the maximum 
selected range. Releasing the pedal reduces the speed, but does 
not stop the vehicle. The brake must be applied to stop vehicle. 

See Fig. 3-1.

Brake Pedal

The brake pedal is located on the left side of the floor beneath 
the dash panel. Remove foot from accelerator pedal apply 
pressure to the brake pedal evenly until vehicle slows down and 

stops. See Fig. 3-1.

Parking Brake Lever

The parking lever is located to the left of the driver’s seat. It holds 

the brake in the engaged position for parking. See Fig. 3-1.

To engage the parking lever, pull up on the parking brake lever, 
and parking brake light on dash will come on to indicate parking 
brake is engaged.
To release parking brake, push down on brake pedal, depress 
button on top of park brake lever, and move lever to off position.

NOTE: 

The engine will stall when the parking brake is engaged 

and the unit is not in Neutral.

Choke Knob

The choke knob is located to the left of the driver’s seat. The 
choke is used when starting a cold engine. It richens the fuel 

mixture for cold weather starting.  See Fig. 3-1.

Shift Lever

The shift lever is located in the center console between the 

seats and has four positions (4x4 only), FORWARD, LOW, 

NEUTRAL, and REVERSE (the 4x2 unit has three positions - 

FORWARD, NEUTRAL, and REVERSE). The brake pedal must 

be depressed and the utility vehicle must not be in motion 
when moving the shift lever.

NOTE: 

To shift into LOW, move the shift lever from the 

neutral position towards the passenger seat and then 
forward.

IMPORTANT: 

Never force the shift lever. Doing so 

may result in serious damage to the utility vehicle’s 
transmission.

Differential Lock Lever

The differential lock lever is located in the center console 
between the seats. When engaged, the differential lever locks 
the rear differential so both rear wheels will pull equally. See Fig. 

3-1.
