Choke

• Choke Lever is for use in low temperature starting situations. Do not drive the UTV with the choke activated.
• This vehicle is equipped with a safety protection system—to start the engine brake must be applied.
• The UTV will start in any gear when brake is applied. Keep this in mind when starting to prevent injury from
movement of the vehicle.
• The UTV fuel system is sensitive and will not allow the vehicle to start if more than 1/8th throttle is applied
when cranking.
• For cold weather starting, it is best to start the machine in neutral, with no throttle applied and choke fully engaged.
Brake Pedal
• Before each trip, check the function of the brake pedal. Also check for sufficient brake fluid in the reservoir.
• Attention: Irregularities of the brakes such as leaks and poor performance should only be dealt with by an
authorized dealer. The brake fluid level must be above the MIN mark. Always use DOT #4 brake fluid.

Shift Lever

L: High torque use (advance gear)
H: Normal use (driving gear)
N: Parking use (neutral)
R: Reverse use
Shift Lever Instructions:
• Engage the brake and move the shift lever from N to H, L or R (L shift is used for rough surfaces)
*When Shifting H to L or any gear/direction the vehicle must be at a complete stop.
notice: Operating the shift lever when vehicle is moving can be hazardous and can cause damage to the vehicles
transmission. This is strictly prohibited. Always wait until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
Do not operate the UTV at high speed in reverse under any circumstances.
2WD/4WD Select Lever
• The 2WD/4WD select lever is used for changing the engine power supplied to the wheels. You can select 2WD or
4WD for your preference according to different surface conditions.
• 2WD: Engages the engine power to the rear wheels only. This is mainly used for normal riding.
• 4WD: Engages the engine power to both front and rear wheels with differential function. There is a limited slip gear
assembly inside the front differential that can engage the right and left front wheels at different speeds. This
provides much more traction than 2WD and should be used when riding on wet, slippery, or loose surfaces.

Recoil Starter
In case the vehicle does not start with the electric starter, the emergency recoil starter can be used to start the engine. To use
the recoil starter make sure the headlights are switched off, shift to neutral (N), set the park brake and grip the starter rope-
handle, which is on the engine magneto cover. Pull the rope until you feel the starter engage. Pull the rope forcefully to start
the engine. At the moment the engine starts, be sure to return the starter rope to its prior normal position.
Tires
The vehicle is equipped with tubeless tires. Tubeless tires should never be repaired. Damaged tires must be replaced.
Your authorized dealer should only replace tubeless tires. Since the tire pressure influences the driving ability, the mandatory
tire pressure should always be maintained. You should determine outer damages of tires. The suggested minimum profile
depth is 3mm; replace the tire immediately if below 3mm. tire pressure: 12 PsI
