POTENTIAL HAZARD
Changing from two-wheel drive to four-
wheel drive or from four-wheel drive to two-
wheel drive while the ATV is moving.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The ATV handles differently in two-wheel
drive than in four-wheel drive in some cir-
cumstances. Changing from two-wheel drive
to four-wheel drive or from four-wheel drive
to two-wheel drive while moving may cause
the ATV to unexpectedly handle differently.
This could distract the operator and in-
crease the risk of losing control and of caus-
ing an accident.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always stop the ATV before changing from
two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive or vice-
versa.
