TIPWhen the switch is set to “LOCK” or “4WD”, the
differential gear lock icon and indicator light will
flash until the differential gear is completely
locked or unlocked.
 When the icon and indicator light are flashing,
turning the handlebar back and forth will help
the differential gear lock to engage or disen-
gage.
 Riding before the differential gear is properly en-
gaged or disengaged (e.g., when the icon and
indicator light are flashing) will cause the vehicle
speed to be limited until the differential gear is
completely engaged or disengaged.
 When the ATV is in four-wheel-drive differential
gear lock, the maximum traveling speed is limit-
ed to 35 km/h (22 mi/h). However, if conditions
require full engine power to be available, push
and hold the override switch to disable the dif-
ferential gear lock speed limiter. (See page
5-12.)
WARNING
EWB00141Always ride at a slow speed when the ATV is in
differential gear lock, and allow extra time and
distance for maneuvers.
All wheels turn at the same speed when the dif-
ferential gear 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.

EBU37980Fuel tank capRemove the fuel tank cap by turning it counter-
clockwise.
WARNING
EWB02522Gasoline and gasoline vapors are extremely
flammable. To avoid fires and explosions and
to reduce the risk of injury when refueling, fol-
low these instructions. 1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and besure that no one is sitting on the vehicle. Nev-
er refuel while smoking, or while in the vicinity of sparks, open flames, or other sources of
ignition such as the pilot lights of water heat-
ers and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the pump nozzle into the fuel
tank filler hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler tube. Because
fuel expands when it heats up, heat from the
engine or the sun can cause fuel to spill out of
the fuel tank.1. Fuel tank cap

TIPWhen using a winch or other electrical accesso-
ries, the power taken from the DC jack must be re-
duced accordingly. A 12-V accessory, such as a work light or radio
with the proper adapter, can be used when the
main switch is turned on. However, to prevent bat-
tery drain, use when the engine is running and the
headlights are turned off.1. Start the engine.
2. Turn the headlights off.
3. Make sure the accessory is powered off.
4. Open the auxiliary DC jack cap.
5. Insert the accessory power plug into the jack.
6. Turn the accessory on.TIP Turn off the accessory before plugging into/un-
plugging from the jack.
 When the auxiliary DC jack is not being used,
cover it with the cap.
NOTICEECB00122If accessories are used with the engine off or
with the headlights on, the battery may dis-
charge to the point that the engine will not
start.
 Do not use an automotive cigarette lighter or
other accessory with a plug that gets hot.
The DC jack may be damaged.
