SAFETY INFORMATION

2-2

Always follow the inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in this
manual.

● Always keep both hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the vehicle at all times during operation.

Keep your feet on the floorboard. Never hold onto the enclosure. Otherwise, your hands could
be injured if it is caught between the enclosure and an obstacle outside the vehicle.

● Always keep both hands on the steering wheel when driving.

● Never wrap your thumbs and fingers around the steering wheel. This is particularly important

when driving in rough terrain. The front wheels will move right and left as they respond to the
terrain, and this movement will be felt in the steering wheel. A sudden jolt could wrench the
steering wheel around, and your thumbs or fingers could be injured if they are in the way of the
steering wheel spokes.

● Always go slowly and be extra careful when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert to

changing terrain conditions when driving the vehicle.

● Never operate on excessively rough, slippery, or loose terrain until you have learned and

practiced the skills necessary to control the vehicle on such terrain. Always be especially
cautious on these kinds of terrain.

● Never turn at excessive speed. Practice turning at slow speeds before attempting to turn at

faster speeds. Do not attempt turns on steep inclines.

● Never operate the vehicle on hills that are too steep for it or for your abilities. Go straight up and

down hills where possible. Maximum slope angle: 15°.

● Never operate on hills that are slippery or ones where you will not be able to see far enough

ahead of you. Never go over the top of a hill at speed if you cannot see what is on other side.

2-3

● Always follow proper procedures for going uphill. If you lose control and cannot continue up a hill,

back down the hill with the engine in reverse gear. Use engine braking to help you go slowly. If
necessary, use the brakes gradually to help you go slowly.

● Always check terrain before going down hills. Go as slowly as possible. Never go down a hill at

high speed.

● Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.

● Never operate the vehicle in fast flowing water or water deeper than the floorboards on this

model. Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after
leaving water. If necessary, apply the brake several times to let friction dry out the linings.

● Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind you when you operate in reverse.

When it is safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly.

● Do not brake abruptly when carrying loads in the cargo bed.

● Always use the size and type of tires specified in this manual.

● Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in this manual.

● Never exceed the stated load capacity. Cargo should be as far forward in the bed as possible,

and distributed evenly from side to side. Be sure cargo is secured so that it cannot move around
during operation. Reduce speed and follow instructions in this manual for carrying cargo or
pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for braking.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Increases the possibility of an accident
or equipment damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always inspect your vehicle each time
you use it to make sure the vehicle is in
safe operating condition. Always follow
the inspection and maintenance
procedures and schedules described in
the Owner’s Manual.

Brakes

Always check brake pedal travel and the brake
fluid reservoir level before each use of the
vehicle. When applied, the brake pedal should
feel firm. Any sponginess would indicate a
possible fluid leak or low brake fluid level, which
must be corrected before riding.
If you discover any irregularities in brake
system operation, including excessive pedal
travel, contact your dealer for proper diagnosis
and repairs.

Front and Rear Brakes
Brake Pedal

Check for correct brake pedal free play. If the
brake pedal free play is incorrect, have a dealer
adjust it. (See pages 8-26－8-33.)

5-5

Your engine has been designed to use regular
unleaded gasoline with a pump octane number
([R+M] /2) of 86 or higher, or research octane
number of 93 or higher. If knocking or pinging
occurs, use a different brand of gasoline or
premium unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel will
give you longer spark plug life and reduced
maintenance cost.

Gasohol

There are two types of gasohol; gasohol
containing ethanol and that containing methanol.
Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if
ethanol content does not exceed 10%. Gasohol
containing methanol is not recommended by
because it may cause fuel system damage or
vehicle performance problems.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Fuel can spill, which can cause a fire and
severe injury.
Fuel expands when it heats up. If the
fuel tank is overfilled, fuel could spill out
due to heat from the engine or the sun.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Be careful
not to spill fuel, especially on the engine
or exhaust pipe. Wipe up any spilled
fuel immediately. Be sure the fuel tank
cap is closed securely.

5-6

Engine Oil

Make sure the engine oil is at the specified level.
Add oil as necessary. (See pages 8-7 —8-10.)

1CAUTION:

 In order to prevent clutch slippage (since

the engine oil also lubricates the clutch), do
not mix any chemical additives. Do not
use oils with a diesel specification of “CD”
or oils of a higher quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled “ENERGY
CONSERVING II” or higher.

 Make sure that no foreign material enters

the crankcase.

Recommended engine oil type and
quantity:

See page 10-2

Coolant

Vehicle Break-in Period

The break-in period for your new UTV
vehicle is the first 25 hours of operation, or
the time it takes to use the first three tanks
full of gasoline. No single action on your part
is as important as a proper break-in period.

Careful treatment of a new engine and drive
components will result in more efficient
performance and longer life for these
components. Perform the following
procedures carefully.

● Excessive heat build-up during the first

three hours of operation will damage
close-fitted engine parts and drive
components. Do not operate at full
throttle or high speeds during the first
three hours of use.

● Use of any engine oil not mentioned in

this manual will cause severe damage to
the engine。

Engine Break-In

There is never a more important period in the

6-8

life of your vehicle than the period between
zero and 25hours.
For this reason, we ask that you carefully
read the following material. Because the
engine is brand new, you must not put an
excessive load on it for the first several
hours of running.
During the first 25 hours, the various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves to
the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full throttle
operation or any condition which might result
in excessive engine heating must be avoided.
However, momentary (2-3 seconds
maximum) full throttle operation under load
does not harm the engine.
Each full throttle acceleration sequence
should be followed with a substantial rest
period for the engine by cruising at lower
r/min so the engine can rid itself of the
temporary build up of heat. If any

abnormality is noticed during this period,
consult a dealer.

0-10 Hours:

Avoid continuous operation above half
throttle. Allow a cooling off period of five to
ten minutes after every hour of operation.
Vary the speed of the vehicle from time to
time. Do not operate it at one set throttle
position.

10-25 Hours:

Avoid prolonged operation above 3/4 throttle.
Rev the vehicle freely but do not use full
throttle at any time.

After Break-In:

The vehicle can now be operated normally.

Brake System Break-in

Apply only moderate braking force for the
first 50 stops. Aggressive or overly forceful

6-9

braking when the brake system is new could
damage brake pads and rotors.

CVT Break-in (Clutches/Belt)

A proper break-in of the clutches and drive
belt will ensure a longer life and better
performance. Break in the clutches and belt
by operating at slower speeds during the
break-in period as recommended. Pull only
light loads. Avoid aggressive acceleration
and high speed operation during the break-in
period.

Parking
When parking, stop the engine and shift the
drive select lever into the neutral position.
Apply the parking brake to help prevent the
vehicle from rolling.

1. Parking brake pedal

2. Parking brake pedal release lever

Parking on a slope

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Parking on a hill or other incline.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The vehicle could roll out of control,
increasing the chance of an accident.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Avoid parking on hills or other inclines.
If you must park on an incline, apply
the parking brake, and block the front
and rear wheels with rocks or other
objects. Do not park the vehicle at all
on hills that are so steep you could not
walk up them easily.

1. Bring the vehicle to a stop by applying
the brakes.

2. Stop the engine.

3. With the brakes applied, set the parking
brake.

NOTE:

Like many other vehicles, the parking brake
acts on the rear wheels. For the parking
brake to have the effect of braking all four
wheels, shift to 4WD before stopping the
engine.

6-11

Accessories and loading
Accessories

Accessories can affect the handing and
control of your vehicle. Keep the following in
mind when considering an accessory or
operating a vehicle which has accessories.

● Choose only accessories designed for

your vehicle. Your dealer has a variety of
genuine accessories. Other accessories
may also be available on the market.
However, it is not possible for to test all
non accessories, nor have any control
over the quality or suitability of them.
Choose a genuine accessory, or one that
is equivalent in design and quality.

● Accessories should be rigidly and

securely mounted . An accessory which
can shift position or come off while you

are operating could affect your ability to
control the vehicle.

● Do not mount an accessory where it

could interfere with your ability to control
the vehicle. Examples include (but are
not limited to) an object that limits your
ability to turn the steering wheel or one
that limits your view.

● Use extra caution when driving a vehicle

with accessories. The vehicle may
handle differently than it does without
accessories.

6-12

Loading

Cargo or a trailer can change the stability
and handling of a vehicle.
You must use common sense and good
judgment when carrying cargo or towing a
trailer. Keep the following points in mind:

● Never exceed the weight limits shown.

An overloaded vehicle can be unstable.

MAXIMUM LOADING LIMIT

● Vehicle loading limit (total weight of

cargo, operator, passenger and
accessories, and tongue weight):

370 Kg (814 lb)

● Cargo bed:150Kg (330 lb)

● Trailer hitch:

Pulling load (total weight of trailer
and cargo):552Kgf (1,214lbf)
Tongue weight (vertical weight on
trailer hitch point):50Kgf (110lbf)

● Choose a trailer hitch drawbar designed

for use with a 5 cm (2in) receiver.(See
page 4-25 for more information)

● Do not exceed the maximum tongue

weight. You can measure tongue weight
with a bathroom scale. Put the tongue of
the loaded trailer on the scale with the
tongue at hitch height. Adjust the load in
the trailer, if necessary, to reduce the
weight on hitch. If you are carrying cargo
and towing a trailer, include the tongue
weight in the maximum vehicle load limit.

● Load cargo in the cargo bed as close to

the center of the vehicle as possible and
tie it down using the cargo hooks
equipped on the cargo bed.

● Tie down cargo securely in the trailer.

Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot
move around. A shifting load can cause

6-13

an accident.

● Make sure the load does not interfere

with controls or your ability to see where
you are going.

● Drive more slowly than would without a

load. The more weight you carry, the
slower you should go. Although
conditions vary, it is good practice not to
exceed low range whenever you are
carrying heavier loads or when towing a
trailer.

● Allow more braking distance. A heavier

vehicle takes longer to stop.

● Avoid making sharp turns unless at very

slow speeds.

● Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose

terrain carefully. Added weight affects
the stability and handling of the vehicle.

7-5

LEARNING TO OPERATE YOUR VEHICLE
You should become familiar with the
performance characteristics of the vehicle in
a large, flat area that is free of obstacles and
other vehicles. Practice control of the
accelerator pedal, brakes, steering, and drive
select lever. Drive first at slow speed and
become comfortable at that speed before
gradually increasing your speed. Become
familiar with the way the vehicle feels in low
and high ranges, first in two-wheel drive
(2WD) and then in four-wheel drive (4WD)
and four-wheel drive with the differential
locked (DIFF. LOCK). Also practice driving
in reverse. Take the time to learn basic
operation before attempting more difficult
maneuvers.

Perform the Pre-Operation Checks on pages
5-1－5-15. Set the parking brake, shift to
neutral, and follow the instructions on page
6-1 to start the engine. Once it has warmed
up and you have turned the choke off, you
are ready to begin driving your vehicle.
With the engine idling, shift the drive select
lever into low or high. Then release the
parking brake. Press the accelerator pedal
slowly and smoothly. The centrifugal clutch
will engage and you will start to accelerate.
Avoid higher speeds until you are thoroughly
familiar with the operation of your vehicle.
When slowing down or stopping, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal and smoothly
press the brake pedal. Improper use of the
brakes can cause the tires to lose traction,
reducing control and increasing the
possibility of an accident.

7-6

1CAUTION:

Do not shift from low to high or vice versa
without coming to a complete stop and
waiting for the engine to return to normal idle
speed. Damage to the engine or drive train
may occur.

TURNING YOUR VEHICLE

The vehicle is easier to steer in two-wheel
drive (2WD) than four-wheel drive (4WD).
Steering takes the most effort in 4WD with
the differential locked (DIFF. LOCK).
It is possible for the vehicle to roll over or go
out of control if you attempt sharp,
high-speed turns. You should also be
careful making sharp turns on rough terrain.
Do not attempt to turn around or make abrupt
maneuvers on slope.

Position your hands on the steering wheel so
that your thumbs and fingers do not wrap
around the wheel. This is particularly
important when driving in rough terrain. The
front wheels will move right and left as they
respond to the terrain, and this movement
will be felt in the steering wheel. A sudden
jolt could wrench the steering wheel around,
and your thumbs or fingers could be injured if
they are in the way of the steering wheel
spokes.

7-7

Operating Improperly in Reverse

Improperly operating in reverse could result
in a collision with an obstacle or person.
Always follow proper operating procedures 。
Follow these precautions when operating in
reverse:

1. Always check for obstacles or people
behind the vehicle.

2. Apply the throttle lightly. Never open the
throttle suddenly.

3. Back slowly.

4. Apply the brakes lightly for stopping.

5. Avoid making sharp turns.

Before shifting into reverse gear, always
check for obstacles or people behind the

vehicle. When it’s safe to proceed, back

slowly.

7-8

BRAKING

Braking ability is affected by the type of
terrain. In most cases, gradually application
of the brakes is more effective than abrupt
braking, particularly on loose surfaces like
gravel. Always allow for greater braking
distance on rough, loose, or slippery
surfaces.

GOING UPHILL

Do not attempt to climb hills until you have
mastered basic maneuvers on flat ground.
Use proper driving techniques to avoid
overturns on hills and slopes. Drive straight
up hills, and avoid crossing the side of a hill,
which increases your chance of rollover.
Practice first on gentle slopes before
attempting steeper hills. Always check the
terrain carefully before attempting any hill.
Use common sense and remember that
some hills are too steep for you to climb.

Maximum slope angle: 15°

Choose carefully which hills you attempt to
climb. Avoid hills with slippery surfaces or
ones where you will not be able to see far
enough ahead of you.

7-9

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating on excessively steep hills.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The vehicle can over turn more easily
on extremely steep hills than on level
surfaces or small hills.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never operate your vehicle on hills too
steep for it or your abilities. Never
operate vehicles on hills steeper than
15°.
Do not drive across the face of a hill.
Go straight up the hill.
Practice on smaller hills before
attempting large hills.

Before climbing the hill, first be sure you are
operating in low range 4WD or, if necessary,
with 4WD Diff. Lock. To climb a hill, you
need traction, momentum, and steady
throttle. Travel fast enough to keep your
momentum going, but not so fast that you
cannot react to changes in the terrain as you
climb. Slow down when you reach the crest
of the hill if you cannot clearly see what is on
the other side. There could be another
person, an obstacle, or a sharp drop off.
If you start to lose traction or momentum
when climbing, and you decide you will be
unable to continue, use the brakes to come
to a stop. Do not attempt to turn the vehicle
around. With your foot on the brake, look
behind you and plan your descent. Shift the

7-10

drive select lever in reverse so you can use
the engine brake if necessary to slow your
descent. Release the brake and begin to
coast down the hill. Use engine braking as
much as possible, gently applying the brakes
when necessary.

GOING DOWNHILL

Check the terrain carefully before going
down a hill. When possible, choose a path
that lets you drive your vehicle straight
downhill. Avoid sharp angles that could
allow the vehicle to pitch or roll over.
Carefully choose your path and drive no
faster than you will be able to react to
obstacles that may appear.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Going down a hill improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause
the vehicle to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always check the terrain carefully
before you start down any hill. Never
go down a hill at high speed. Avoid
going down a hill at an angle that would
cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one
side. Go straight down the hill where
possible.

7-11

Before starting down hill, make sure the
vehicle is in low-range 4WD. On most
slopes, this will let you use engine braking to
help you go downhill slowly. Go as slowly
as possible. If you start going too fast,
gently apply the brakes. Avoid sudden
application of the brakes, which could cause
the vehicle to start sliding.
If you are sliding or skidding, try to steer in
the direction the vehicle is sliding to help you
regain control.
If you must turn on the hill to avoid an
obstacle, do so slowly and carefully. If the
vehicle starts to tip, gradually steer in the
downhill direction if there are no obstacles in
your path. As you regain proper balance,
gradually steer again in the direction you
want to go.

CROSSING THROUGH SHALLOW WATER

If you must cross shallow, slow moving water
up to the depth of the vehicle’s floorboards,
choose your path carefully to avoid sharp
drop-offs, large rocks, or slippery surfaces
that could cause the vehicle to overturn.
Never operate through water deeper than 33
cm (13in) or fast flowing water.
Wet brakes may have reduced effectiveness.
After leaving the water, test your brakes. If
necessary, apply the brakes several times to
let friction dry out the linings.

7-12

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating this vehicle through deep or
fast-flowing water.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Loss of control, which could result in
an accident including overturn, which
could increase the risk of drowning.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never operate this vehicle in fast
flowing water or in water deeper than
33cm (13in).
Remember that wet brakes may have
reduced stopping ability. Test your
brakes after leaving water. If
necessary, apply brakes several times
to let friction dry out the linings.

1CAUTION：

After riding your vehicle in water, be sure to
drain the trapped water by removing the
check hose at the bottom of the air filter case,
the CVT-belt cooling duct check hose, the
drive select lever box check hose and the
CVT-belt case drain plug. Wash the vehicle
in fresh water if it has been operated in salt
water or muddy conditions.

7-13

Vehicle Immersion

CAUTION：

If your vehicle becomes immersed, major
engine damage can result if the machine is
not thoroughly inspected. Take the vehicle to
your dealer before starting the engine.

If it’s impossible to take your vehicle to a

dealer before starting it, follow the steps
outlined below.

1. Move the vehicle to dry land.

2. Check the air box. If water is present, dry
the air box and replace the filter with a
new filter.

3. Remove the spark plugs.

4. Turn the engine over several times.

5. Dry the spark plugs and reinstall them, or

install new plugs.

6. Attempt to start the engine. If necessary,
repeat the drying procedure.

7. Take the vehicle to your dealer for
service as soon as possible, whether you
succeed in starting it or not.

8. If water has been ingested into the CVT,
make sure inspect the hole without water
left inside. If it is muddy water, open the
CVT cap and wash the parts before
reassemble.

9. check the gearshift, release the water
inside. Wash it if it is necessary.

CAUTION：

Make sure all motion parts coated with
grease after wash and reassemble.

7-14

1．Air filter case check hose

1．CVT Gear Box inspection hole

Front Axle Differential Lock

When driving on rugged or muddy roads,
locking the differential case in the front axle
gearbox will give you the best traction. In
this case, the two front wheels will be driven
at the same rate. It may not be useful to
lock the differential case after you’ve lost
traction, because the skid process has
destroyed the soil structure. Even if you
lock the differential, the front wheels may
continue to slip and will not drive the vehicle
ahead.

7-15

Riding Over Rough Terrain

Operating over rough terrain should be done
with caution. Look for obstacles that could
cause damage to the vehicle or could lead to
a rollover accident. Avoid jumping the
vehicle as injury, loss of control, and damage
to the vehicle could occur.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Failure to use extra care when
operating this vehicle on unfamiliar
terrain.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
You can come upon hidden rocks,
bumps, or holes, without enough time
to react. Could result in the vehicle
overturning or going out of control.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Go slowly and be extra careful when
operating on unfamiliar terrain.
Always be alert to changing terrain
conditions when operating the vehicle.

7-16

Riding In Brush Or Wooded Areas

When operating in areas with brush or trees,
watch carefully on both sides and above the
vehicle for obstacles such as branches that
the vehicle might hit, causing an accident, or
for brush that might enter the vehicle as you
pass and strike the driver or passenger.
Never hold onto the enclosure so your hand
is outside the vehicle. Hold only onto the
handgrip inside the enclosure.

7-17

Encountering Obstacles On The Trail

If you cannot go around an obstacle such as
a fallen tree trunk or a ditch, stop the vehicle
where it is safe to do so. Set the parking
brake and get out to inspect the area
thoroughly. Look from both your approach
side and the exit side. If you believe you
can continue safely, decide the path that will
allow you to get over the obstacle at as close
to a right angle as possible to minimize
vehicle tipping. Go only fast enough to
maintain your momentum but still give
yourself plenty of time to react to changes in
conditions. If there is any question about
your ability to maneuver safely over the
obstacle, you should turn around, if the
ground is flat and you have the room, or back
up until you find a less difficult path.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Improperly operating over obstacles.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or a
collision. Could cause the vehicle to
overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Before operating in a new area, check
for obstacles.
Use extreme caution when operating
over large obstacles, such as large
rocks or fallen trees.
