FEATURES AND CONTROLS
All Wheel Drive (AWD) System
The Polaris Sportsman 6x6 is equipped with a unique AWD system
activated by the AWD switch (1) on the right handlebar. When the
switch is off, the vehicle is in rear wheel drive at all times. When the
switch is on, the vehicle is in AWD and the front wheels will
automatically engage any time the rear wheels lose traction. When the
rear wheels regain traction, the front wheels will automatically
disengage.
NOTE: The override switch (2) allows activation of AWD in reverse if
the AWD switch is on.
There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in AWD.
The AWD switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle is moving.
If the switch is turned off when the front hubs are driving, they will not
release until the rear wheels regain traction.
CAUTION
Switching to AWD while the rear wheels are spinning may cause
severe drive shaft and hub damage. Always switch to AWD while
the rear wheels have traction or are at rest.
