POTENTIAL HAZARD
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Riding too fast while the ATV is in 4WD-LOCK.
All wheels turn at the same speed when
The
differential is locked, so it takes more effort to
turn the ATV. The amount of effort is more the
faster you go. You may lose control and have an
accident if you cannot make a sharp enough turn
for the speed you are traveling.
Always ride at a slow speed when the ATV is in
4WD-LOCK, and allow extra time and distance for
maneuvers.
●
When the switch is set to
“
LOCK
”
, the differential
gear lock indicator light will flash until the
differential gear is locked.
●
When the indicator light is flashing, turning the
handlebar back and forth will help the differential
gear lock to engage.
