FEATURES AND CONTROLS

All Wheel Drive (AWD) System

Disengaging Wheel Hubs

Although the hubs normally disengage when operating in reverse, one

or both hubs may occasionally remain engaged. If the handlebars pull

to one side, it’s likely that one front hub is engaged . If both hubs are

engaged, steering effort increases but remains balanced from left to

right, and vehicle speed is somewhat restricted.
Disengage the hubs by stopping, shifting to reverse, and backing for a

short distance. Then proceed in forward again.

NOTE: If the hubs remain engaged after following this procedure,

return the ATV to your dealer for service.

To continue using AWD in reverse, activate the override switch and the

AWD switch. See page 31.

WARNING

Operating with only one front hub engaged could result in loss of

control, accident, and severe injury or death. When hub

engagement symptoms are present, use the disengaging

procedure before proceeding.
