This switch allows the operator to operate
the ATV in either 2-wheel drive (rear
wheels) or 4-wheel drive (all wheels). For
normal riding on flat, dry, hard surfaces,
2-wheel drive should be sufficient. In situ-
ations of aggressive trail conditions, 4-
wheel drive would be the desired choice.
To either engage or disengage the front
wheels, move the switch to the 4WD posi-
tion or to the 2WD position.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to either engage or
disengage the 4WD lock while the
ATV is moving.
On the 550/700/1000, the 4WD lock
allows the operator to mechanically lock
the front differential to apply equal
power to both front wheels. To engage
the lock from 4WD, slide the switch up
and move it fully to the left. To disengage
the lock, move the switch lever to the
right.
! WARNING
The 4WD lock is intended for use
where minimum traction is available.
NEVER EXCEED 10 MPH (16 kph)
with the lock engaged. Maneuverabil-
ity and handling characteristics will
differ with the lock engaged. ALWAYS
shift into four-wheel drive prior to
engaging the front differential lock.
Failure to follow this procedure may
result in loss of control. Control loss
can result in severe injury or even
death.
