If the Battery Is Low (or Dead)
Taking Care of the Unexpected
How to Shif t Gears Manually
Your ATV will operate even if the battery is low (or dead), as long as
the engine is running. If the engine is not running, it may be started
using the recoil starter.
Turn the ignition switch to the ‘‘ON’’ ( ) position.
Remove the gear change tool from the tool kit compartment (page
).
Check if the transmission is in neutral by moving the vehicle back and
forth.
If the transmission is in neutral, the vehicle will move easily. Go to
step 5.
If the transmission is not in neutral, the vehicle will not move.
Remove the left engine sub cover (page
), use the gear change
tool to shift to neutral so you will be able to start the engine. Refer to
(page ).
Apply the parking brake.
Turn the ignition switch to the ‘‘OFF’’ (
) position, then turn it
back to the ‘‘ON’’ ( ) position.
Use the recoil starter (page ) to start the engine.
Jump starting is not recommended, especially if you use an automobile
battery. The greater amperage of an automobile battery when the car
engine is running can damage your ATV’s electrical system.
Bump starting is also not recommended.
If you can’t charge the battery or it appears unable to hold a charge,
contact your Honda dealer.
