CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Features
Exclusive AWD System (All Wheel Drive)
Polaris 4 wheel drive ATVs are
equipped with a unique, Polaris
exclusive, All Wheel Drive
(AWD) system which is
activated by a switch (1) on the
right handlebar. When the
switch is “off” the ATV is in 2
wheel drive at all times. When
the switch is “on” the ATV is in
All Wheel Drive and the AWD
indicator(2) will light.
When in AWD, the front
wheels will automatically
engage anytime the rear wheels
lose traction. When the rear
wheels regain traction, the front
wheels will automatically
disengage.
NOTE: The override switch
also allows activation of All
Wheel Drive (AWD) in reverse,
if All Wheel Drive switch is
on.
There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in All
Wheel Drive.
The All Wheel Drive switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle
is moving. If the switch is turned off when the front hub is driving it
will not release until the rear wheels regain traction. To protect the
front drive system, the AWD will not engage if the engine is running
higher than 3100 RPM. Once enabled, the AWD system will work at
any RPM.
