Differential gear lock switch "LOCK"/
"4WD"
To lock the differential gear in 4WD, make sure
the On-Command four-wheel-drive switch is
set to "4WD", stop the ATV, move the lever to
position b, and then set the switch to "LOCK".
When the differential gear is locked, the differ-
ential gear lock indicator ("DIFF.LOCK") light
will come on along with the indicator "
the speedometer unit display.
To release the differential gear lock, stop the
ATV and set the switch to "4WD".
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Riding too fast while the ATV is in
4WD-LOCK.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
All wheels turn at the same speed when
the differential is locked, so it takes
more effort to turn the ATV. The amount
of effort is more the faster you go. You
may lose control and have an accident if
you cannot make a sharp enough turn
for the speed you are traveling.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always ride at a slow speed when the
ATV is in 4WD-LOCK, and allow extra
time and distance for maneuvers.
