Brake Fluid Level
Top Window
The brake fluid in the master cylinder, which is located on the left handlebar,
should be checked before each side. There is an indicator window (1) on the
top of the master cylinder. 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 add 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 left 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 where
you
are operating below
7mph(11km/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.
