Ground clearances at the front & rear of the vehicle will increase and decrease during operation due to action of the independent suspensions. Aggressive riding on rough terrain could cause the bottom of the chassis to strike on obstacle.
Observe the following points to avoid damaging your ATV. Riding in Reverse. Start the engine following the procedure in the “Starting the Engine” section. Before shifting into reverse, make certain that the vehicle is completely stopped, and then move the shift lever into the “R” (Reverse) position. Refer to the “Shift Lever” section.
Turn around and look behind you before backing up to be sure there are no obstacles or people in your way. Gradually open the throttle and begin backing up cautiously.
If additional power is needed while backing up, hold the reverse power assist switch in. When you release the switch, the vehicle’s power and speed return to the reduced mode. Refer to the “Reverse Power Assist Switch” in the “Left Handlebar Switches” section. To stop while riding in reverse, close the throttle and gradually apply the brakes. Sudden application of the rear brake can cause the front end of the vehicle to lift off the ground.
To shift out of reverse, first stop vehicle completely. Then move the shift lever back to the “N” (Neutral) position.
