CONTROL AND PARTS FUNCTIONS

Engage the Demand 4 Drive switch before getting into condi-

tions where front wheel drive may be needed. If the rear

wheels are spinning, release the throttle before turning the

Demand 4 Drive switch on.
Disengaging Wheel Hubs

When backing up while in Demand 4 Drive and then going forward,

one or both hubs may remain engaged. If one or both hubs remain

engaged they can be disengaged by stopping, shifting to and mov-

ing in reverse. Then proceed in forward again.

You can tell if only one front hub is engaged if the handlebars pull

to one side. If both front wheel hubs are engaged, steering effort

increases but remains balanced from left to right, and vehicle

speed is somewhat restricted.

NOTE: If the hubs remain engaged after following these instruc-

tions return the ATV to your dealer for service.

If both hubs were engaged and only one released during op-

eration, loss of control could result. If you experience hub en-

gaging symptoms, use the above disengaging technique be-

fore proceeding. Failure to disengage front hubs as directed

above could result in severe injury or death.
