switch on the right handlebar. When the
switch is "off" the 4x4 is in 2 wheel drive at

is in Demand 4 Drive and the front wheels
will automatically engage anytime the rear
wheels lose traction.
wheels regain traction, the front wheels will automatically disengage. NOTE: The override switch also allows activa-
tion of Demand 4 Drive (AWD) in reverse, if Demand 4 Drive switch is on.
There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in Demand 4 Drive.
The Demand 4 Drive switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle is moving. If the switch is turned off when the
front hubs are driving they will not release until the rear wheels regain traction.
CAUTION: Do not switch on Demand 4 Drive if the rear wheels are spinning. This may cause severe drive shaft
and clutch damage. Engage the Demand 4 Drive switch before getting into conditions where front wheel drive may
be needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle before turning the Demand 4 Drive switch on.
Backing your ATV can be dangerous!
You could hit an obstacle or person behind you; or the vehicle could tip
over rearward on a steep incline causing severe injury or death.
Always back slowly avoiding excessive speed and do not use the reverse
speed override switch system unless additional power is required for ve-
hicle movement.
Avoid backing on steep inclines.
