CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Features
A red AWD light on the switch indicates when the vehicle is in AWD.
There i s no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in AWD.
The AWD 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.
Disengaging Wheel Hubs
When backing uphill while in AWD and then going forward downhill,
one or both hubs may remain engaged. If one or both hubs remain
engaged they can be disengaged by stopping, shifting to and moving in
reverse. Then proceed in forward again.
You can tell if only one front hub is engaged if the handlebars pull to
one side. If both front wheel hubs are engaged, steering effort
increases but remains balanced from left to right, and vehicle speed is
somewhat restricted.
CAUTION
Do not switch on AWD if the rear wheels are spinning. This may
cause severe drive shaft and clutch damage. Engage the AWD
switch before getting into conditions where front wheel drive may
be needed. If the rear wheels a re spinning, r elease the throttle
before turning the A WD switch on.
WARNING
If both hubs were engaged and only one released during
operation, loss of control could result. If you experience hub
engaging symptoms, use the above disengaging technique
before proceeding. Failure to dis engage front hubs as directed
above could result in severe injury o r death.
If the hubs remain engaged after following these instructions
return the vehicle to your dealer for service.
