54 GENERAL INFORMATION j Variable Front Differential Control Lever This vehicle is equipped with a variable limited slip differential (LSD) for the front wheels, The differential control lever is located on the left side of the handlebar. When one front wheel loses traction, it can slip reducing the pulling power of the other front wheel. By pulling the differential control lever, you can equalize driving force to both front wheels. This is useful when the vehicle is stuck or having difficulty overcoming an obstacle. The differential control lever is effective only when "4WD" is engaged. When you want to increase traction, pull the control lever all the way to the hand grip and grasp the handlebar securely. Release the lever when you no longer need the above-mentioned equalizing. WARNING HAZARD Increasing limited slip differential (LSD) traction while turning or before entering a turn. WHAT CAN HAPPEN Pulling the front differential control lever can reduce steering response, increasing the effort to turn. An unexpected change in direction can cause the operator to lose control, resulting in an accident and injury. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Do not pull the front differential control lever while turning or before entering a turn. A. Variable Differential Control Lever

GENERAL INFORMATION

Variable Front Differential Control Lever
This vehicle is equipped with a variable limited slip
differential (LSD) for the front wheels, The differen-
tial control lever is located on the left side of the han-
dlebar.
When one front wheel loses traction, it can slip re-
ducing the pulling power of the other front wheel. By
pulling the differential control lever, you can equal-
ize driving force to both front wheels. This is useful
when the vehicle is stuck or having difficulty over-
coming an obstacle. The differential control lever is
effective only when "4WD" is engaged.
When you want to increase traction, pull the con-
trol lever all the way to the hand grip and grasp the
handlebar securely. Release the lever when you no
longer need the above–mentioned equalizing.
