EWB00091 WARNING POTENTIAL HAZARD Changing from four-wheel drive to fourwheel-drive differential gear lock or vice-versa while the ATV is moving. WHAT CAN HAPPEN The ATV handles differently in four-wheel drive than in differential gear lock in some circumstances. Changing from four-wheel drive to differential gear lock or vice-versa while moving may cause the ATV to handle differently unexpectedly. This could distract the operator and increase the risk of losing control and causing an accident. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Always stop the ATV before changing from four-wheel drive to four-wheel-drive differential gear lock or vice-versa. EWB00101 4 WHAT CAN HAPPEN All wheels turn at the same speed when the differential gear is locked, so it takes more effort to turn the ATV. The effort needed to turn increases with the riding speed. You may lose control and have an accident if you cannot make a sharp enough turn for the speed you are traveling. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Always ride at a slow speed when the ATV is in differential gear lock, and allow extra time and distance for maneuvers. NOTE: G When the switch is set to "LOCK", the differential gear lock indicator and indicator light will flash until the differential gear is locked. G When the indicator and indicator light are flashing, turning the handlebar back and forth will help the differential gear lock to engage. G Riding before the differential gear lock is properly engaged (e.g., when the indicator and indicator light are flashing) will cause the engine speed to be limited until engagement is complete. WARNING POTENTIAL HAZARD Riding too fast while the ATV is in fourwheel-drive differential gear lock. 4-11
