Riding before the differential gear is properly en-
gaged or disengaged (e.g., when the indicator
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 4-10
for a detailed explanation of this switch.)

WARNING
Always 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 vehicle is equipped with a lever to change
from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive and vice
versa. Select the appropriate drive according to
the terrain 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 vehicle and set the lever to the
"4WD" position. Then, the four-wheel-drive indi-
cator light " " (YFM70KDXG / YFM70KDHG) or
the
four-wheel-drive
(YFM70KPXG / YFM70KPHG) comes on.
To change from four-wheel drive to two-wheel
drive, stop the vehicle and set the lever to the
"2WD" position.
