WARNING
EWB00163Always stop the ATV before changing from
two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive and vice
versa. The ATV handles differently in two-
wheel drive than in four-wheel drive in some
circumstances. Changing from two-wheel
drive to four-wheel drive or vice versa while
moving may cause the ATV to unexpectedly
handle differently. This could distract the oper-
ator and increase the risk of losing control and
of causing an accident.This ATV is equipped with a switch to change from
two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive and vice versa.
Select the appropriate drive according to the ter-
rain and the conditions.
“2WD ” (two-wheel drive): Power is supplied to
the rear wheels.
“ 4WD ” (four-wheel drive): Power is supplied to
the rear and front wheels. To change from two-wheel drive to four-wheel
drive, stop the ATV and push the switch in to the
“
4WD ” position. The four-wheel-drive indicator
light “” comes on.
To change from four-wheel drive to two-wheel
drive, stop the ATV and push the switch in to the
“ 2WD ” position.
EBU18282Throttle lever Once the engine is running, pushing the throttle le-
ver will increase the engine speed.1. On-Command four-wheel-drive switch “2WD”/“4WD”

The figures quoted are emission levels and are not
necessarily safe working levels. Whilst there is a
correlation between the emission and exposure
levels, this cannot be used reliably to determine
whether or not further precautions are required.
Factors that influence the actual level of exposure
of work-force include the characteristics of the
work room, the other sources of noise, etc. i.e. the
number of machines and other adjacent process-
es, and the length of time for which an operator is
exposed to the noise. Also the permissible expo-
sure level can vary from country. This information,
however, will enable the user of the machine to
make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.U1NS60E0.book Page 5 Monday, August 1, 2011 4:12 PM
