12. Steering cylinder undersized or inadequate pressure; angle of articulation

excessive. Requires correction for safe driving.

13. Standard shift vehicle with “loose” driveline syndrome. Depressing clutch

while making very narrow radius turns may, on occasion, induce an

annoying driveline “cycling” condition in some standard shift vehicles that

have drivelines with higher degrees of “play” (looseness). Slower turning

speeds or clutching before the turn is made will reduce this symptom and

shifting into neutral will usually stop this condition.

14. Improper assembly of axle components; foreign matter in axle housing.

Check overall assembly of all axle components to be correct. Inspect for

any contamination and determine cause. Correct any problems as required.

15. High viscosity lubricant. Gear lubricant can thicken and cause sluggish

operation of the Powertrax No-Slip Traction System in very low

temperatures. For very cold weather applications, use the lightest oil the

axle manufacturer will allow. For extremely cold climates, use “heat

control” devices, or garaging, and carefully drive the vehicle for a few miles

on-road to warm up the oil before using the vehicle in more demanding

off-road conditions.

16. Improper weight distribution or overloading. Redistribute weight or

remove excess weight. Follow vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations

and conform to vehicle specifications.
