Controls & Features
Front Differential Lock and Speed Limiter Over-Ride
(Differential Lock Switch and Start/Over Ride Button)
Your ATV is equipped with a front differential lock feature that
includes a speed limiter and speed limiter over-ride. This system is
designed to provide maximum use of available traction to help you
escape from situations where the vehicle might otherwise become
stuck, in the mud for example. When the front differential lock
mode is activated, the front differential gear is locked causing all
four wheels to rotate at the same speed. Because locking all four
wheels together changes the way the vehicle handles and increases
the amount of room necessary to turn, a speed limiter restricts the
speed to 32 km/h (20 mph). Pushing and holding the start/over ride
button in this mode allows you to momentarily over-ride the 32
km/h (20 mph) speed limiter, up to 64 km/h (40 mph), to help you
free the vehicle in more severe conditions. You should only use this
feature where maximum traction is required and only in low speeds.
For normal riding, use 2WD and 4WD modes.
