FEATURES AND CONTROLS
All Wheel Drive (AWD) System
The All Wheel Drive system is
controlled by the AWD switch.
When the switch is on 2X4 (cen-
ter position), the ATV is in two-
wheel drive at all times. When the
switch is on AWD (left position),
the ATV is in all wheel drive and
the AWD indicator light in the
instrument cluster will be on.
When in AWD, the demand drive unit will automatically engage any
time the rear wheels lose traction. When the rear wheels regain traction,
the demand drive unit will automatically disengage. There is no limit to
the length of time the vehicle may remain in AWD.
NOTE: The override switch allows activation of AWD in reverse if the AWD
switch is on. See page 38.
When the switch is on TURF (right position), the differential is open,
allowing the inside wheel to rotate independently from the outside
wheel during turns. Operate this vehicle in TURF mode only to protect
smooth, level surfaces from tire damage. Otherwise, switch out of
TURF mode.
WARNING
Operating in TURF mode when on sloped, uneven, or loose terrain could
cause loss of control and result in serious injury or death. One rear wheel
may slip and lose traction or may lift up and grab when it touches the ground
again.
DO NOT operate in TURF mode when climbing or descending hills, when
sidehilling, or when operating on uneven, loose, or slippery terrain conditions
such as sand, gravel, ice, snow, obstacles, and water crossings.
Switch the All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system out of TURF mode whenever it is
not required.
