4 Throttle Lever
SAFETY DECALS & LOCATIONS
Before starting the engine, check the throttle to be sure it is
operating smoothly. Make sure it returns to the idle position as
soon as the lever is released.
Once the engine is running, movement of the throttle lever
using your thumb will increase the engine speed. Regulate the
speed of the vehicle by varying the throttle position. Because
the throttle is spring loaded, the vehicle will decelerate and the
engine will return to idle speed any time your thumb is removed
from the throttle lever. Before starting the engine, check the
throttle to be sure it is operating smoothly. Make sure it returns
to the idle position as soon as the lever is released.
CAUTION
Check the operation of the throttle lever before you start the
engine. If it does not work smoothly, check for the cause.
Correct the problem before riding the vehicle. Consult your
dealer if you can’t find or solve the problem by yourself.

1 Foot Brake
The foot brake pedal is located on the right side floor board of
the vehicle. Push down on the pedal to apply both the front and
rear brakes. When applied, the pedal should feel firm. A soft
brake pedal would indicate a possible fluid leak or low master
cylinder fluid level, which must be corrected before riding.
Contact your dealer for proper diagnosis and repairs.
2 Foot Brake Fluid Reservoir and Level Indicator
Check the fluid level of foot brake fluid reservoir before each
use of the vehicle. The foot brake fluid reservoir is near the right
foot rest under the front access panel. The fluid level can be
viewed on the side of the fluid reservoir. If the fluid level is lower
than the “lower” mark, refill with brake fluid DOT4 as necessary.
WARNING
An over-full master cylinder may cause brake drag or brake
lock-up, which could result in serious injury or death. Maintain
brake fluid at the recommended level. Do not overfill. Never
store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. Brake fluid is
hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture from the
air. The moisture causes the drop of boiling temperature of
the brake fluid, which can lead to early brake fade and the
possibility of accident or severe injury. After opening a bottle of
brake fluid, always discard any unused portion.

CVT System
FEATURES & CONTROLS
This vehicle has a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
system that utilizes a belt and clutch pulleys to automatically
vary transmission ratios, allowing infinite variability between
the highest and lowest vehicle speeds with no discrete steps or
shifts.
The CVT consists of a primary clutch 1 , which is an advanced
form of centrifugal clutch that is mounted to the engine
crankshaft A . The primary clutch also contains a one-way
bearing that creates an engine braking feature to slow the
vehicle without having to use the hand or foot brake.
The secondary clutch 2 is mounted to the input shaft of the
transmission B and serves two functions: As a “slave” pulley
to the primary clutch, and to provide a torque sensing element.
The drive belt 3 is a heavy duty V-belt that connects the engine
and transmission pulleys.
A CVT housing and cover encloses the clutches and belt
assembly. It has inlet and outlet cooling ducts that route air
to cool the components, and they should be inspected. The
CVT components do not contain any user maintenance items.

82
Hauling and Towing Cargo
OPERATION OF YOUR ATV
Your vehicle is equipped with front and rear cargo racks, and a hitch receptacle for towing. Follow these
guidelines for hauling and towing of cargo:
WARNING
Overloading the vehicle or carrying or towing cargo improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause
loss of control or brake instability. Always follow these precautions when hauling cargo:
●Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle.
●Reduce speed when hauling or towing loads.
●When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to maintain stable driving conditions.
●Weight distribution on the front and rear racks should be as far forward and as low as possible. Carrying
a high load raises the center of gravity and creates an unstable operating condition. Reduce load weight
when the cargo center of gravity is high. When handling off-centered loads that cannot be centered,
secure the load and operate with extra caution.
●All loads must be secured before operation. Unsecured loads may shift and create unstable operating
conditions. which could result in loss of control of the vehicle.
83
OPERATION OF YOUR ATV
●When operating with loads extending beyond the rack. Stability and maneuverability may be adversely
affected,causing the machine to overturn.
●Carrying a load on only the front rack or the rear rack may cause an imbalanced condition and increases
the possibility of vehicle overturn. Balance loads proportionally between the front rack and the rear rack,
but do not exceed the stated load capacity.
●Use extreme caution when applying brakes with a loaded vehicle. Avoid terrain or situations that may
require backing downhill.
●Always attach to the towable using the hitch point. Never exceed the recommended tongue weight.
●While towing, the vehicle should never exceed 10 mph (16 km/h) while towing a load on a level surface.
Vehicle speed should never exceed 5mph (8 km/h) when towing loads in rough terrain,while cornering,or
while ascending or descending a hill.
●Do not obstruct the headlight when loading the front rack.
●Always use low gear while towing to avoid clutch wear and belt issues.
●Using chains, straps, rope or other materials to tow objects is not recommended, as these items could
get caught in the rear wheels, resulting in vehicle damage or personal injury.
84
Load Distribution
OPERATION OF YOUR ATV
Your vehicle has been designed to carry or tow a certain amount of load. Always read and understand the
load distribution warnings listed on the warning labels, and never exceed the specified weights. Cargo
weight should be mounted as low as possible. When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed
and cargo to maintain stable driving conditions.
If a trailer is used behind the vehicle make sure that its hitch is compatible with the one on the vehicle.
Make sure the trailer is horizontal with the vehicle. (In some instances a special extension may have to be
installed on the vehicle hitch). Use security chains or cables to secure the trailer with the vehicle.
This vehicle may require additional stopping distance if hauling heavy loads, especially on inclined
surfaces and when a passenger is on board. Improperly loading a trailer may cause loss of control.
Respect the recommended maximum hauling capacity and maximum tongue load. Make sure there is at
least some weight on the tongue.
Always make sure load is evenly distributed and safely secured on the trailer; an evenly balanced trailer
is easier to control. Always put the shift lever to L (low range) for hauling a trailer in addition to providing
more torque, operating in low range helps account for the increased load on the rear tires.
When stopped or parked, block the vehicle and trailer wheels from possible move- ment. Use caution
when disconnecting a loaded trailer; it or its load may topple on you or others. When hauling a trailer,
respect the following maximum hauling capacity.

Driving Safely
OPERATION OF YOUR ATV
Responsibilities of the operator
As the operator of this vehicle, your common sense, judgment, and abilities are the only factors that will
prevent injury to yourself, to others around you, and/or damage to the vehicle or environment.
Recreational, group, and distance riding
Always keep a safe distance from other riders ahead of you and behind you when riding in a group. Never
operate carelessly or make unexpected maneuvers with other vehicles close by. Stay on designated trails
and riding areas, and discourage others from operating in unauthorized locations.
91
OPERATION OF YOUR ATV
Practice
The driving procedures described in this manual should be practiced at slow speed many times in a large
area with no obstacles. If an incorrect technique is used, your vehicle may continue to go straight. If the
vehicle does not turn, stop and practice the procedure again. If the riding surface is slippery or loose, it
may help to transfer more of your weight to the front wheels by moving forward on the seat. Once you
have learned the proper techniques, you should be able to perform maneuvers at higher speeds or in
tighter curves.
Improper driving procedures such as abrupt throttle changes, excessive braking, incorrect body
movements, or too much speed for the sharpness of the turn may cause the Vehicle to tip. If the Vehicle
begins to tip over to the outside while negotiating a turn, lean more to the inside. It may also be necessary
to gradually let off on the throttle and steer to the outside of the turn to avoid tipping over.
Remember: Avoid higher speeds until you are thoroughly familiar with the operation of your Vehicle.
NOTE
Low gear is the preferred transmission gear selection for all forward motion other than prolonged high
speed travel. Do not use high gear for continuous slow speed travel or towing, as this can lead to
excessive heating of the clutch system, which may damage components.
92
OPERATION OF YOUR ATV
Driving Procedures
1. Sit upright with both feet on the footrests and both hands on
the handlebars.
2. Start the engine and allow it to warm up, apply the brakes,
then shift the transmission into gear.
3. Check your surroundings and determine your path of travel.
4. Release the brakes.
5. Slowly depress the throttle with your right thumb and begin
driving. Vehicle speed is controlled by the amount of throttle
opening.
6. Drive slowly. Practice maneuvering and using the throttle
and brakes on level surfaces.
93
OPERATION OF YOUR ATV
Making Turns
To make a turn, steer in the direction of the turn, leaning your
upper body to the inside of the turn while supporting your weight
on the outer footrest. This technique alters the balance of
traction between the wheels, allowing turn to be made smoothly.
The same leaning technique should be used for turning in
reverse.
NOTE
Practice making turns at slow speeds before attempting to
turn at faster speeds.
Support weight

WARNING
Turning at sharp angles or at excessive speeds can result in
vehicle overturn and lead to serious injury. Avoid turning at
sharp angles. Never make turns at high speeds.
94
Lean into
the turn
OPERATION OF YOUR ATV
Vehicle turning dynamics
To achieve maximum traction while operating in 2WD or 4WD, the two rear wheels perform as one axle
and turn together at the same speed. Furthermore, when operating in 4WD-LOCK mode, the front wheels
will also turn together at the same speed. Therefore, unless the wheel on the inside of the turn is allowed
to slip or lose some traction, the Vehicle will resist turning. The special turning technique described in this
manual must be used to allow the Vehicle to make turns quickly and easily. It is essential that this skill be
learned first at low speed.
WARNING
Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in this Owner s Manual. Practice turning at low
speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds. Do not turn at speeds too fast for your skills or the
conditions. Operate at a slow speed and allow extra time and distance for maneuvers when in 4WD LOCK ( DIFF. LOCK ).
As you approach a curve, slow down and begin to turn the handlebars in the desired direction. As you do
so, put your weight on the footboard to the outside of the turn (opposite your desired direction) and lean
your upper body into the turn. Use the throttle to maintain an even speed through the turn. This maneuver
will let the wheel on the inside of the turn slip slightly, allowing the Vehicle to make the turn properly.
Turning on curves
As you approach a curve, slow down and begin to turn the handlebars in the desired direction. As you do
so, put your weight on the foot board to the outside of the turn (opposite the desired direction) and lean
your upper body into the turn. Use the throttle to maintain an even speed through the turn. This maneuver
will let the wheel on the inside of the turn slip slightly, allowing the Vehicle to maneuver the turn properly.
95
OPERATION OF YOUR ATV
Driving in reverse
To operate in reverse:
1. Ensure the throttle is closed and the vehicle is stopped completely.

Inspection
The spark plug is an important engine component and is easy
to inspect. The condition of the spark plug can indicate the
condition of the engine. The ideal color on the white insulator
around the center electrode is a medium-to-light tan color for a
vehicle that is being ridden normally. Do not attempt to diagnose
such problem yourself. Instead, take the vehicle to dealer. You
should periodically remove and inspect the spark plug because
heat and deposits will cause the spark plug to slowly break
down and erode. If electrode erosion becomes excessive, or if
carbon and other deposits are excessive, you should replace
the spark plug with the specified plug.

MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION
Spark plug removal to expel water from the engine
If water has been ingested into the engine, it is important to remove the water as soon as possible by
removing the spark plug and using the starter system to rotate the engine for a short period to expel water
out of the cylinder. Verify that the air box has been drained of water before attempting to expel water.
CAUTION
Major engine damage can result if the vehicle if water is ingested into the engine. Have the vehicle
serviced by your dealer promptly if your vehicle becomes immersed or stalls in water that exceeds the
footrest level. It is important to contact your dealer for service before starting the engine if water has been
ingested. Water inside the engine can cause a ‘hydraulic lock’ effect that can damage the starter and
engine components. The engine oil should be checked for water contamination. Drain and refill with new
engine oil if water is found in the crankcase.
135
MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION
Air filter
Always check and change the engine oil at the intervals outlined
in the Maintenance Schedule. The air filter element should be

143
MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION
Inspect brake fluid level
Observe these precautions:
1. When checking the front brake fluid level, make sure the master cylinder reservoir is level by turning
the handlebar until the steering is centered and the wheels are pointed forward.
2. Use only the designated quality brake fluid. Otherwise, the rubber seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor brake performance.
NOTE
Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4.
3. Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor brake performance.
4. Be careful that water does not enter the master cylinder reservoir when refilling. Water will significantly
lower the boiling point of the fluid and may result in vapor lock.
5. Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid immediately.
6. Have your dealer check the cause if the brake fluid level goes down.
144
MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION
Brake fluid change
Complete fluid replacement should be done only by trained
service personnel. Have your dealer replace the following
components during periodic maintenance or when they are
damaged or leaking.
•• Replace the brake hoses every four years.
Front lever free play
The front brake lever should have a free play of 10 mm (0.4
in) at the lever end. If not, have your dealer check the brake
system.
DANGER (After servicing):
•• Make sure the brakes operate smoothly and that the free
play is correct.

Cleaning and Storage
CLEANING & STORAGE
Washing the vehicle
Keeping your vehicle clean will not only improve its appearance, but it can also extend the life of various
components. With a few precautions, your vehicle can be cleaned much like an automobile:
•• The best and safest way to clean your vehicle is with a garden hose and a pail of mild soap and
water. Harsh detergents may deteriorate rubber components.
•• Use a professional type washing mitten, cleaning the upper body first and the lower parts last.
•• Pay special attention that the cooling system radiator and axle boots are thoroughly cleaned of all
dirt and debris.
•• Rinse with water frequently and dry the vehicle with a chamois to prevent water spots.
•• Lubricate all pivot points immediately after washing.
•• Allow the engine to run for a while to evaporate any water that may have entered the engine air
intake or exhaust system.
CFMOTO does not recommend the use of a high pressure type car wash system for washing your vehicle,
as water can be forced past seals. If a high pressure system is used, exercise extreme care to avoid
water damage to the decals, wheel bearings, transmission seals, body panels, brakes, warning labels, air
filter intake system and electrical system. Ensure water is not allowed to enter into the air filter housing. If
warning and safety labels are damaged, contact your dealer for a replacement.
159
CLEANING & STORAGE
Waxing the Vehicle
Your Vehicle can be waxed with any non-abrasive automotive paste wax. Avoid the use of harsh cleaners
since they can scratch the body finish.
CAUTION
Certain products,including insect repellants and chemicals,will damage plastic surfaces. Use caution when
using these products near plastic surfaces.
Perform Repairs
Make necessary repairs to your vehicle before storing to prevent further damage the next time you operate
it.
Check the Tires
Inspect the tire treads and overall condition. Set the tires to the specified air pressure.
Oil and Filter
Warm the engine, then stop the engine and change the oil and filter.
