146 MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT Drive Belt Failure Detection System This vehicle is equipped with a drive belt failure detection system which detects excessive belt wear or belt damage. When a switch in the "CVT" cover is activated, the belt indicator light flashes a warning to the rider, the engine slows to 3 600 rpm, and the vehicle will not shift into "4WD". Inspection of the belt failure detection system is required in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart by an authorized Kawasaki dealer. If the belt failure detection system is activated, return the vehicle immediately to an authorized Kawasaki dealer for drive belt inspection and adjustment or replacement. Kawasaki Engine Brake Control System This vehicle is equipped with the Kawasaki Engine Brake Control system. It can assist the operator when descending hills by supplementing the wheel brake system with additional braking force that is produced by the engine. The Kawasaki Engine Brake Control lever wears gradually so inspection is required in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart by an authorized Kawasaki dealer. j NOTE żThis system does not function in reverse. It cannot function if the battery is disconnected. High Altitude Use The original belt drive transmission settings for this vehicle are best for sea level use. When the vehicle is used at high altitude the engine performance will decrease. This is why readjustment of both weights and spring preload of transmission are required. Have the transmission adjusted by your authorized Kawasaki dealer if you intend to use this vehicle above 1 400 m (4 700 feet).

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
j
Drive Belt Failure Detection System
This vehicle is equipped with a drive belt failure
detection system which detects excessive belt wear
or belt damage.
When a switch in the "CVT" cover is activated, the
belt indicator light flashes a warning to the rider, the
engine slows to 3 600 rpm, and the vehicle will not
shift into "4WD".
Inspection of the belt failure detection system is re-
quired in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance
Chart by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.
If the belt failure detection system is activated,
return the vehicle immediately to an authorized
Kawasaki dealer for drive belt inspection and ad-
justment or replacement.
High Altitude Use
The original belt drive transmission settings for
this vehicle are best for sea level use.
When the
vehicle is used at high altitude the engine perfor-
mance will decrease.
This is why readjustment of
both weights and spring preload of transmission are
required.
Have the transmission adjusted by your
authorized Kawasaki dealer if you intend to use this
vehicle above 1 400 m (4 700 feet).
Kawasaki Engine Brake Control System
This vehicle is equipped with the Kawasaki En-
gine Brake Control system. It can assist the operator
when descending hills by supplementing the wheel
brake system with additional braking force that is
produced by the engine.
The Kawasaki Engine Brake Control lever wears
gradually so inspection is required in accordance
with the Periodic Maintenance Chart by an autho-
rized Kawasaki dealer.
NOTE
°
This system does not function in reverse. It cannot
function if the battery is disconnected.
