Vehicle OperationStarting the VehicleAlways start with the vehicle on a flat,level surface. Carbon monoxide poison-ing can kill you, so keep the vehicle out-side while it’s running. Follow thesesteps to start it up:NOTE: This vehicle is equippedwith a driver’s seat belt sensor. If thedriver’s seat belt is not fastened, thevehicle speed is limited to 15 mphand the seat belt indicator on thedigital gauge will illuminate. The seatbelt indicator will remain illuminateduntil the driver’s seat belt is fas-tened.

HDX323A

1. Step into the vehicle and sit down;then fasten the operator seat belt andthe passenger seat belt (if applica-ble) and strap on your approved hel-met and require your passenger to dothe same (if applicable). Check thatthe occupant side restraints aresecured in place.

2. Place the transmission in park; thendepress the brake pedal.

3. Turn the ignition switch clockwiseto the START position; then whenthe engine starts, release to the RUNposition. Do not increase engineRPM above idle.

4. Let the engine warm up.ShiftingNOTE: The CVT is fully automaticand shifts as a function of engineRPM and vehicle loading.

PK059A

1. To select reverse gear from park,move the shift lever forward oneposition until the letter “R” is dis-played on the digital gauge.

2. To select neutral from reverse, movethe shift lever forward one positionuntil the letter “N” is displayed onthe digital gauge.

3. To select high range from neutral,move the shift lever forward oneposition until the letter “H” is dis-played on the digital gauge.

! WARNINGFalling from a moving vehicle couldresult in serious injury or death.Always fasten your seat belt securelyand ensure the passenger seat belt isproperly and securely fastened priorto operating or riding in this vehicle.

CAUTIONIncreasing engine RPM above idlewhile in Park will cause belt damage.

CAUTIONDo not run the starter motor for morethan eight seconds per startingattempt. The starter motor may over-heat causing severe starter motordamage. Allow 15 seconds betweenstarting attempts to allow the startermotor to cool.

CAUTIONAlways come to a complete stopbefore attempting to shift from onerange to the other or into reverse.Always shift on level ground.

22

Page 25: This vehicle can be hazardous to operate.€¦ · If you must cross the side of a hill, drive slowly and stop or turn downhill if you feel the vehicle may tip over. †Always use

4. To select low range from high range,move the shift lever forward oneposition until the letter “L” is dis-played on the digital gauge.

NOTE: The high range is for nor-mal driving with light loads. The lowrange is for carrying heavy loads ortrailer towing. Compared to HIGHrange, the LOW range position pro-vides slower speed and greatertorque to the wheels.

5. To select park, move the shift levercompletely down until the letter “P”is displayed on the digital gauge.

Driving the VehicleOnce the engine is warm, the vehicle isready to be driven.

1. With the engine idling, press the footbrake pedal to apply the brake; thenselect the appropriate operating rangeand/or direction with the shift lever.

2. Release the foot brake pedal andpress the accelerator to slowly addpower to start moving.

3. To slow down or stop, release theaccelerator and press the foot brakepedal as necessary to slow or stopthe vehicle.

Braking/StoppingAlways allow plenty of room and time tostop smoothly. Sometimes quick stopsare inevitable, so always be prepared.Whether you’re stopping slowly or stop-ping quickly, do this:

1. Release the accelerator; then pressthe foot brake pedal to apply thebrake.

2. If the wheels lock, release them for asecond; then apply them again. Onsurfaces such as ice, mud, or loosegravel, pump the brake pedal rapidly.

3. Never “ride” the brake. Even main-taining minimal pressure on thebrake pedal will cause the brakepads to drag on the disc and mayoverheat the brake fluid.

ParkingParking involves following the previousrules for braking; then:

1. After the vehicle stops, shift intopark.

2. Turn off the ignition.3. If you have to park on a hill, block

the wheels on the downhill side.Basic TurnsSteering effort is at its lowest in two-wheel drive (2WD). Greater effort isneeded when in four-wheel drive (4WD).The greatest effort is needed when infour-wheel drive and the differential (ifequipped) is locked.Slow down before entering a turn. Thebasic turning technique is to drive at lowspeed and gradually adjust the amount ofsteering to suit the driving surface. Donot make sudden sharp turns on any sur-face. Refer to the sub-sections DrivingUphill, Driving Downhill, CrossingObstacles, Driving in Reverse, Skiddingor Sliding, Crossing Water, or CrossingRoads for more information.

CAUTIONAlways shift into low range whenoperating on wet or uneven terrain,when towing or pushing heavy loads,and when using a plow. Failure to fol-low this caution may result in prema-ture V-belt failure or in damage torelated drive system components.

CAUTIONNever increase engine speed aboveidle RPM when in park or belt damagewill occur.

! WARNINGExcessive repetitive use of thehydraulic brake for high speed stopswill cause overheating of the brakefluid and premature brake pad wearwhich will result in an unexpectedloss of brakes.

! WARNINGUse only manufacturer-approvedbrake fluid. Never substitute or mixdifferent types or grades of brakefluid. Brake loss can result. Checkbrake fluid level and pad wear beforeeach use. Brake loss can result inserious injury or death.

Page 26: This vehicle can be hazardous to operate.€¦ · If you must cross the side of a hill, drive slowly and stop or turn downhill if you feel the vehicle may tip over. †Always use

If your vehicle ever skids sidewaysduring a turn, steer in the direction of theskid. Also, avoid hard braking or acceler-ating until you have regained directionalcontrol.

Driving UphillAlways drive straight up the hill andalways avoid hills steeper than 15°.

1. Keep both hands on the wheel.2. Prior to starting the climb, shift into

low range, select four-wheel drivefor traction, and gradually press theaccelerator; then maintain a constantspeed.

3. If the vehicle stalls on a hill, pressthe foot brake pedal to apply thebrake, shift into reverse, and slowlyback down the hill. Do not attemptto turn around on a hill.

NEVER OPERATE UP OR DOWN HILLS STEEPER THAN 15°

Driving DownhillAlways drive straight down the hill andalways avoid hills steeper than 15°.

1. Keep both hands on the wheel.2. Prior to descending the hill, shift

into low range and release the accel-erator to allow maximum enginebraking. Do not use four-wheel drivewhen descending a hill. Enginebraking can cause the front wheelsto slide reducing steering control.

NOTE: Use minimum braking (asnecessary) to maintain a slow speed.

Crossing ObstaclesCrossing obstacles can be hazardous.There is always the possibility of thevehicle tipping. If you cannot go aroundan obstacle, follow these guidelines:

1. Stop the vehicle and place the trans-mission in park. Go out to inspectthe obstacle thoroughly from bothyour approach side and the exit side.If you believe you can cross theobstacle safely, select four-wheeldrive (4WD).

NOTE: Selecting the LOCK posi-tion on the differential lock controlmay be beneficial; however, steeringeffort will be increased.

! WARNINGUse care in turns — turning the steer-ing wheel too far or too fast can resultin loss of control or a rollover. Exces-sive speed, driving aggressively, ormaking abrupt maneuvers, even onflat, open areas, can cause loss ofcontrol, tipping, or rollover. Uneventerrain, rough terrain, soft surfaces,slippery surfaces, and paved surfacescan also cause a loss of control orrollover in a turn. On loose or soft sur-faces, allow yourself more time anddistance to turn and slow down.

! WARNINGDo not attempt to turn around on a hill.

! WARNINGDriving up hills improperly can causeloss of control of the vehicle resultingin serious injury or death. Useextreme care when driving in hilly ter-rain.

! WARNINGDo not attempt to turn around on ahill.

! WARNINGDriving down hills improperly cancause loss of control of the vehicleresulting in serious injury or death.Never drive downhill at a high rate ofspeed. Use extreme care when drivingin hilly terrain.

24

Page 27: This vehicle can be hazardous to operate.€¦ · If you must cross the side of a hill, drive slowly and stop or turn downhill if you feel the vehicle may tip over. †Always use

2. Approach the obstacle as close aspossible to 90° to minimize vehicletipping.

3. Keep speed slow enough to maintaincontrol but fast enough to maintainmomentum.

4. Use only enough power to cross theobstacle but still give yourself plentyof time to react to changes in condi-tions. Crawl over the obstacle.

NOTE: If there is any questionabout your ability to cross the obsta-cle safely, you should turn around ifthe ground is flat and you have roomor back up until you find a less diffi-cult path.

Driving in ReverseWhen operating in reverse, avoid sharpturns and backing down a hill. Whenusing reverse, follow these guidelines:

1. Back up slowly. It’s hard to seebehind you.

NOTE: Avoid sudden braking whilebacking up.

2. If possible, it is advisable to havesomeone “spotting” for you whilebacking up.

3. If you are unsure of what is behind thevehicle, place the transmission in parkand get out and inspect the areabehind.

Skidding or SlidingIf you lose control after hitting sand, ice,mud, or water, follow these guidelines:

1. Turn the steering wheel into thedirection of the slide.

2. Keep your foot off the brake untilyou’re out of the skid.

3. Stop and shift into four-wheel drive.Crossing WaterThis vehicle can only operate in water up toits floorboard. Stay away from fast movingrivers. This vehicle’s tires can be buoyant. Indeep water, the vehicle may lose traction dueto floating.

1. Physically check the depth and currentof the water, especially if you can’t seethe bottom. Also, check for boulders,logs, or any other hidden obstacles.

2. Keep speed slow while maintainingmomentum.

3. Make sure you have a way out on theother side of the water.

4. Once you’ve cleared the water, brieflyapply the brakes to make sure theywork.

NOTE: Light pedal pressure orpumping the brakes for a short dis-tance will aid in drying the brakes.

Crossing RoadsIt may be necessary to cross a road or high-way. If so, note the following guidelines.

1. Stop completely on the shoulder of theroad.

2. Check both directions for traffic.3. Crossing near a blind corner or inter-

section is dangerous; avoid it if at allpossible.

4. Drive straight across to the oppositeshoulder.

5. Take into account that this vehiclecould stall while crossing; give yourselfenough time to get off the road.

6. You have to assume that oncoming carsdon’t see you, and if they do, theywon’t be able to predict your actions.

7. It’s illegal to cross public roads in someplaces. Know your local laws.

! WARNINGStriking hidden obstacles can causeserious injury or death. Reduce speedand proceed with care in unfamiliarterrain.

! WARNINGNever activate the override while thethrottle is open as a loss of controlmay result. Use caution when usingthe override switch as reverse speedcan greatly increase.

! WARNINGDo not operate this vehicle on a frozenbody of water unless you have firstverified the ice is sufficiently thick tosupport the vehicle, cargo, and partic-ipants. The vehicle could breakthrough the ice causing serious injuryor death.

The recommended front differential/reardrive lubricant is SAE-approved 80W-90hypoid. This lubricant meets all of thelubrication requirements of this vehicle.

Engine Break-In After the completion of the break-inperiod, the engine oil and oil filter shouldbe changed. Other maintenance afterbreak-in should include checking of allprescribed adjustments and tightening ofall fasteners. At the discretion andexpense of the owner/operator, the vehi-cle may be taken to an authorized dealerfor this initial service.New vehicles and engines require a“break-in” period. The first month ismost critical to the life of this vehicle.Proper operation during this break-inperiod will help ensure maximum lifeand performance from this vehicle.During the first 10 hours of operation,always use less than 1/2 throttle. Varyingthe engine RPM during the break-inperiod allows the components to “load”(aiding the engine/transmission compo-nent mating process) and then “unload”(allowing components to cool). Althoughit is essential to place some stress on theengine components during break-in, careshould be taken not to overload theengine too often. Do not pull a trailerduring the break-in period.When the engine starts, allow it to warmup properly. Idle the engine several min-utes until the engine has reached normaloperating temperature. Do not idle theengine for excessively long periods oftime.Burnishing Brake PadsBrake pads must be burnished to achievefull braking effectiveness. Braking dis-tance will be extended until brake padsare properly burnished.

Liquid Cooling SystemNOTE: Debris in the engine com-partment or packed between thecooling fins of the radiator canreduce cooling capability. Using agarden hose, wash the radiator toremove any debris preventing airflow.

The cooling system capacity can be foundin the specification chart. The cooling sys-tem should be inspected daily for leakageand damage. If leakage or damage isdetected, take the vehicle to an authorizeddealer for service. Also, the coolant levelshould be checked periodically.

NOTE: High engine RPM, low vehi-cle speed, or heavy load can raiseengine temperature. Decreasingengine RPM, reducing load, andselecting an appropriate transmis-sion gear can lower the temperature.

When filling the cooling system, use acoolant/water mixture which will satisfythe coldest anticipated weather conditionsof the area in accordance with the coolantmanufacturer’s recommendations. While the cooling system is being filled,air pockets may develop; therefore,remove the bleed plug on the coolantpipe at the front of the engine allowingtrapped air to escape. When pure coolant(no air) flows from the bleed hole, installthe bleed plug, tighten securely, and thenfill the cooling system to the bottom ofthe stand pipe in the radiator neck. Runthe engine for five minutes after the ini-tial fill; then shut off the engine andrecheck coolant level.

NOTE: Use a good quality, biode-gradable glycol-based, automotive-type antifreeze.

Shock AbsorbersEach shock absorber should be visiblychecked weekly for excessive fluid leak-age (some seal leakage may be observedbut it does not indicate the shock is inneed of replacement), cracks or breaks inthe lower case, or a bent shock rod. If anyone of these conditions is detected,replacement is necessary.NOTE: When the vehicle isoperated in extremely coldweather (-23° C/-10° F or colder), asmall amount of leakage may bepresent. Unless the leakage is exces-sive, replacement is not necessary.

This vehicle is equipped with adjustableshock absorbers to allow for differentdriving and loading conditions. Adjustments can be made with a specialspanner wrench to increase or decreasecoil spring tension.To adjust the spring force, loosen thelock collar; then rotate the preload adjust-ment sleeve with a suitable spannerwrench until desired spring tension isachieved.NOTE: For normal operating con-ditions, we recommend the preloadsettings be set to full-soft on all fourshock absorbers.

CAUTIONDo not use a pressure washer toclean the radiator core. The pressuremay bend or flatten the fins causingrestricted air flow, and electrical com-ponents on the radiator could bedamaged. Use only a garden hosewith spray nozzle at normal tap pres-sure.

CAUTIONContinued operation of the vehiclewith high engine temperature mayresult in engine damage or prematurewear.

! WARNINGNever check the coolant level whenthe engine is hot or the cooling sys-tem is under pressure.

CAUTIONAfter operating the vehicle for the ini-tial 5-10 minutes, stop the engine,allow the engine to cool down, andcheck the coolant level. Add coolantas necessary.
