WARNING: Do not stop or start suddenly

when going uphill or downhill. Be especially

cautious when changing direction on slopes.

Apply brakes when going down slopes to

maintain control of vehicle.

• Release brake pedal and apply pressure to the

accelerator pedal.

• Release accelerator and apply brake pedal evenly

and firmly to slow down or stop.

Operating The Headlights

To turn the utility vehicle’s headlights on:

• Start the engine following the instructions earlier in

this section.

• Turn the key one notch counterclockwise into the

On/Lights position of the ignition switch. Refer to

Figure 4.

To turn the utility vehicle’s headlights off:

• Turn the key either into the On position (to leave the

engine running) or the Stop position (to shut the

engine off). Refer to Figure 4.

NOTE: Never move the key into the Start position while

the engine is running. Doing so may cause damage to

your engine’s electric starter.

Engaging Differential Lock

• Stop or slow vehicle speed and pull up on lever to

lock differential. The differential will remain

engaged as long as lever is held in the up position.

IMPORTANT:

Engage the differential when the left and

right side wheels are turning at slightly different speeds.

Do not attempt to turn when differential lock is engaged.

WARNING: To avoid transaxle damage or

injury, go slow when operating vehicle with

differential lock engaged as steering

response is noticeably reduced.

Disengaging Differential Lock

• To disengage the differential lock, simply release

the lever, allowing it to return to the bottom position.

NOTE: Torque must be equal on both axles for

differential lock to release. It is best to slow down and

drive straight ahead at a constant speed when

disengaging the differential.
