POTENTIAL HAZARD
Changing from 2WD to 4WD or from
4WD to 2WD while the ATV is moving.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The ATV handles differently in 2WD
than in 4WD in some circumstances.
Changing from 2WD to 4WD or from
4WD to 2WD while moving may cause
the ATV to unexpectedly handle differ-
ently. This could distract the operator
and increase the risk of losing control
and an accident.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always stop the ATV before changing
from 2WD to 4WD or vice-versa.
