POTENTIAL HAZARD
Riding too fast while the ATV is in four-
wheel-drive differential gear lock.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
All wheels turn at the same speed when the
differential is locked, so it takes more effort
to turn the ATV. The effort needed to turn in-
creases 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 four-wheel-drive differential gear lock, and
allow extra time and distance for maneuvers.
