range or dismount the ATV (after first
applying the park brake) and perform
the K-turn as described on page 66.
Drive at a higher speed or use low
range more frequently. The use of
low range is highly recommended for
cooler CVT operating temperatures
and longer component life.

belt will become more flexible and
prevent belt burning.

for efficient clutch engagement.
