56 GENERAL INFORMATION j WARNING HAZARD Inattentive operation in "R" (Reverse). Backing up without looking where you are going. WHAT CAN HAPPEN Inattentive operation in "R" (Reverse) could cause you to hit a person or obstacle behind you, resulting in severe personal injury or death. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Before shifting into "R" (Reverse), make sure there are no people or obstacles behind you, and then proceed at a safe speed. Always look where you are going, whether forward or in reverse. 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. NOTICE Do not shift to "R" (Reverse) when the vehicle is moving or with the engine running above idling speed, or the transmission could be damaged.
