The Powertrax No-Slip Traction System is ideal for rear axle installations in 2-wheel or
4-wheel drive vehicles, or in rear-wheel drive cars and vans. It is not recommended that
the Powertrax No-Slip Traction System be installed in front wheel (only) drive vehicles.
Front axle installation in full-time 4-wheel drive vehicles is also discouraged. Front axle
installation in user selectable “part-time” 4-wheel drive vehicles is fine, but special ve-
hicle configurations and usage limitations must be adhered to without exception. The
Powertrax No-Slip Traction System must only be installed in the front axle of 4-wheel
drive vehicles that are quipped with front axle disconnect or with unlocking hubs on the
front axles. A Powertrax No-Slip Traction System installed in the front axle should not
be operated on the highway with the front hubs locked and 4-wheel drive engaged. We
recommend that a Powertrax No-Slip Traction System always be installed in the rear
axle first before adding one to the front axle. To summarize, the Powertrax No-Slip Trac-
tion System is ideal for all rear axle installations for superior traction, and will deliver
awesome traction when installed in the rear and front axles of 4-wheel drive vehicles
equipped with front axle disconnect or unlocking hubs on the front axles.
When considering the use of the Powertrax No-Slip Traction System it is important to con-
sider and apply key vehicle parameters such as loading, power requirements, and other
factors.
