FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Automatic Transmission Gear Selector
The transmission gear selector is
located on the right side of the vehicle.
H: High Gear

Whenever the ATV is left unattended, always place the transmission in

Belt Life

when operating at less than seven miles per hour for extended periods of
time.
Fuel Filter (500 EFI)
The in-line fuel filter is located under the rubber service cover inside the
front box. Have your dealer replace the filter after every 200 hours of
operation and any time the fuel becomes contaminated with dirt or
debris. Do not attempt to clean the fuel filter.
Fuel Tank Cap
Remove the fuel tank cap to add
fuel to the fuel tank. Use either
leaded or unleaded gasoline with
a minimum pump octane number
of 87=(R+ M/2) octane. Do not
use E-85 fuel.
CAUTION
Shifting gears with the engine speed above idle or while the vehicle is moving
could cause transmission damage. To change gears, stop the vehicle, and
with the engine idling, move the lever to the desired gear.
