2. To engage the P (park), come to a
complete stop; then shift the trans-
mission into park.
NOTE: The high range is for nor-
mal riding with light loads. The low
range is for carrying heavy loads or
trailer towing. Compared to HIGH
range, the LOW range position pro-
vides slower speed and greater
torque to the wheels.
3. To engage reverse gear from neutral,
move the shift lever outward and
rearward into the R position.
Braking/Stopping
Always allow plenty of room and time to
stop safely. Sometimes quick stops are
inevitable, so always be prepared.
Whether you’re stopping slowly or stop-
ping quickly, do this:
1. Squeeze the brake lever on the left
handlebar to apply both the front and
rear brakes.
2. If your wheels lock, release them for
a second; then apply them again.
3. Never “ride” the brake. Even main-
taining minimal pressure on the
brake lever will cause the brake pads
to drag on the disc and may overheat
the brake fluid.
Parking
Parking involves following the previous
rules for braking; then:
1. After the ATV stops, shift into neu-
tral.
2. Stop the engine using the emergency
stop switch.
3. Turn off the ignition.
4. If you have to park on a hill, shift the
ATV into low gear or park (if appli-
cable).
5. Engage the brake lever lock.
Dismounting the ATV
After you’ve followed the procedure for
parking, it’s time to dismount:
1. Double check that the brake lever
lock is engaged.
2. Swing your right leg over to the left
side of the seat.
3. Step to the ground on the left side of
the ATV.
CAUTION
Always shift into low range when oper-
ating on wet or uneven terrain, when
towing or pushing heavy loads, and
when using a plow. Failure to follow
this caution may result in premature V-
belt failure or in damage to related
drive system components.
CAUTION
Always come to a complete stop before
attempting to shift from one range to
the other or into reverse. Always shift
on level ground, or engage the brake
lever lock before shifting into another
range or into reverse.
! WARNING
Excessive repetitive use of the
hydraulic brake for high speed stops
will cause overheating of the brake
fluid and premature brake pad wear
which will result in an unexpected
loss of brakes.
! WARNING
Use only approved brake fluid. Never
substitute or mix different types or
grades of brake fluid. Brake loss can
result. Check brake fluid level and pad
wear before each use. Brake loss can
result in severe injury or even death.
