General Information Control Locations and Functions Ignition Switch Key Two keys come with this vehicle. Keep the spare key in a safe place. An identifying number is stamped on each key. Use this number when ordering a replacement key. Ignition Switch The ignition switch has three positions. Drive Select Switch PR878 ATV-0056A OFF position — All electrical circuits except the accessory are off. The engine will not start. The key can be removed in this position.
PR881A This switch allows the operator to operate the vehicle in either two-wheel drive (rear wheels) or four-wheel drive (all wheels) as well as mechanically lock the differential (if equipped) to apply equal power to both front wheels. For normal riding on flat, dry, hard surfaces, two-wheel drive should be suffi- cient. In situations when additional traction is necessary, four-wheel drive would be the desired choice. NOTE: The accessory plugs are powered by the battery at all times. RUN position — The ignition circuit is complete and the engine can run. The key cannot be removed in this position. START position — The ignition circuit is complete and the starter is engaged.
When the key is released, the switch will return to the RUN position. The key can- not be removed in this position. To select 2WD, depress the bottom of the switch. To select 4WD, move the switch to the middle position. To engage the dif- ferential lock, slide the switch latch slightly downward while pressing the top of the switch forward. NOTE: This vehicle has safety interlock switches which prevent the starter motor from activating when the transmission is not in neutral. Depress and hold the brake pedal to engage starter when the transmission is not in neutral. CAUTION Do not attempt to either engage or disengage the front differential while the vehicle is moving.
Shift Lever This vehicle has a dual-range Constant Variable Transmission (CVT) with reverse and park. NOTE: When the differential lock is engaged on equipped models, the indicator light will be illumi- nated. 23
