Testing Your Installation
1. Be sure that the vehicle is safely blocked. Leave the
axle assembly on the jack stands, with both tires free to rotate
and the emergency brake off.
2. Put the transmission and transfer case in gear to
lock the drive shaft.
3. Rotate one of the tires in the forward direction with
your hand until it stops, then hold it. That side of the LOCK-
RIGHT is now locked.
4. Rotate the other tire in the opposite (reverse) direc-
tion. The LOCK-RIGHT should “click” as the coupler attached to
the axle rotates.
5. Rotate the first tire in the reverse direction and hold
it; repeat step 3, rotating the other tire in the forward direction.
6. Repeat steps 2-4, rotating and holding the second
tire to lock the second side.
Driving Your Vehicle
If the foregoing measurements and tests have been suc-
cessfully completed, apply the emergency brake and remove the
vehicle from the jack stands. Your vehicle should now be ready
to drive.
Carefully read and understand the driving information
contained in the LOCK-RIGHT Vehicle Owner’s Manual! Safe and
effective use of your new LOCK-RIGHT-equipped vehicle depends
on knowledgeable operation, and this can only be done by un-
derstanding its characteristics before you start. Be careful, and
have fun!
NOTE: If an axle snaps repeatedly under power when
driving on the street (as opposed to lightly clicking in a turn), teh
teeth on the used side gears may be too worn to function prop-
erly. Sustained operation under these conditions is quite easy
to observe and will void the warranty. Replace the side gears
immediately to eliminate the problem or contact your dealer for
assistance.
more worn than the other one, they both should be replaced for
safety reasons.
