The brake fluid in the master cylinder, which is located on the left handlebar, should
be checked before each ride. There is an indicator window on the brake fluid reservoir.
This window will appear dark when the fluid level is full. When fluid needs to be
added, the window will be clear.
NOTE:
When checking the fluid level, the ATV must be on level ground and the
handlebars must be straight. If the fluid level is low as DOT 3 only.
On some models, there is a “side window”, the fluid level can be seen through it, and
should be maintained between the indicated “max” and “min” marks on the reservoir.
Automatic Transmission Gear Selector Operation
The transmission gear selector is located
on the right side of the vehicle. The
transmission selector lever has four
positions: high forward, reverse, neutral,
and low forward.
NOTE: To extend belt life, use low
forward gear in heavy pulling situations and in situations when you are
operating below 7 mph (11 km/h) for extended periods of time.
CAUTION
To change gears, stop the vehicle, and with the engine idling, move the lever to the
desired gear. Shifting gears with the engine speed above idle or while the vehicle is
moving could cause transmission damage.
Always place the transmission in gear with the parking brake locked whenever the
vehicle is left unattended.
Maintaining shift linkage adjustment is important to assure proper transmission
function. Should you experience any shifting problem see your dealer.
