MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT 147 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 CVT indicator light blinks 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. Kawasaki Engine Brake Control System lever wears gradually so inspection is required in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart by an authorized Kawasaki dealer. NOTE j 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 2 500 m (8 200 feet).
