Shift pedal
This machine is equipped with a constant-mesh
6-speed transmission. The shift pedal is located
on the left side of the engine and is used in com-
bination with the clutch when shifting.
EBU00089
Kick starter
Rotate the kick starter away from the engine.
Push the starter down lightly with your foot until
the gears engage, then kick smoothly and force-
fully to start the engine. This model has a prima-
ry-coupled kick starter so the engine can be
started in any gear if the clutch is disengaged.
However, shifting to neutral before starting is
recommended.

Transmission oil
Make sure the transmission oil is at the specified
level. Add oil as necessary. (See pages 8-17 ~
8-23.)
cC
Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain
anti-friction modifiers. Passenger car motor
oils (often labeled “Energy Conserving”) con-
tain anti-friction additives which will cause
clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, result-
ing in reduced component life and poor
engine performance.
Recommended oil:
SAE 10W30
Recommended oil classification:
API Service SE, SF, SG type or higher
Oil quantity:
Total amount:
1.7 L
Periodic oil change:
1.5 L

Starting a cold engine
w
Always make sure all control cables work
smoothly before you begin riding in cold
weather. If the control cables are frozen or
do not work smoothly, you could be unable
to control the ATV, which could lead to an
accident or collision.
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the fuel cock to “ON”.
3. Turn the main switch to “ON” and the engine
stop switch to “RUN”.
4. Shift the transmission into neutral.
5. Use the starter (choke) in reference to the
figure:

EBU00198
Shifting
This model has a 6-speed forward transmission.
The transmission allows you to control the
amount of power you have available at a given
speed or for starting, accelerating, climbing hills,
etc. To shift into neutral, return the throttle lever
to its original position, apply the clutch and
repeatedly depress the shift pedal until it stops.
When it stops, it will be in first gear. Raise the
pedal slightly to neutral.

cC
1. Do not coast for long periods with the
engine off, and do not tow the machine a
long distance. Even in neutral position,
the transmission is only properly lubri-
cated when the engine is running. Inade-
quate lubrication may cause damage.
2. Always use the clutch when changing
gears. The engine, transmission and
drive train are not designed to withstand
the shock of forced shifting and can be
damaged by shifting without the clutch.
