The neutral indicator is green.

Kick-Start Lever
If the battery is too weak to start the engine, use the kick-start lever to
start the engine until the battery is serviced.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface. Lock the parking brake.
Place the transmission in neutral.
2. Fold out the kick-start lever on the left side of the ATV.
3. Make sure the stop switch and main key switch are on.
4. Place your foot on the kick-start. Thrust your heel downward to
crank the engine.

6. After the engine has started, fold the kick-start lever back into place.
Tip: A 10/12 mm wrench is provided in the tool kit for removing or installing the
lever. If not installed, make sure the rubber cap is installed on the kick-start
shaft to protect the rider. Store the kick-start lever under the seat in the rear
cab when not installed.
