starter motor. Before starting the engine,
make sure the ignition switch is in the
ON position, the transmission is in neu-
tral, and the brake lever lock is engaged.

starter motor from activating when
the transmission is not in neutral.
Drive Select Switch
XR182
This switch allows the operator to oper-
ate the ATV in either two-wheel drive
(rear wheels) or four-wheel drive (all
wheels). For normal riding on flat, dry,
hard surfaces, two-wheel drive should be
sufficient. In situations of aggressive trail
conditions, four-wheel drive would be
the desired choice.
! WARNING
Always check to be sure that the
brake lever lock has been disengaged
before operating the ATV. An accident
could result if the brake lever lock is
left engaged while the ATV is oper-
ated. The brake may relax if left
engaged for a long period of time.
This could cause an accident; there-
fore, do not leave the ATV on a hill
depending on the brake lever lock.
Always block the downhill side of the
wheels if leaving the ATV on a hill or
park the ATV in a sidehill position.
