4 The ATV handles differently in two-wheel drive than in four-wheel drive in some cir- cumstances. Changing from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive or from four-wheel drive to two-wheel drive while moving may cause the ATV to unexpectedly handle differently. This could distract the operator and in- crease the risk of losing control and of caus- ing an accident. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Always stop the ATV before changing from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive or vice- versa.
