OPERATION
Differential Lock (4X4 Models)
Locking the Differential
The 4X4 rear axle is equipped with a
lockable differential that allows the
operator to choose between an open
differential or a closed differential.
Locking the differential in slippery or
low traction conditions helps improve
traction.
Press the top of the rocker switch to
engage All Wheel Drive (AWD).
Move the rocker switch to the center
position to lock the differential and
operate in two wheel drive (2WD).
Press the bottom of the switch to
unlock the differential and allow the
rear drive wheels to operate indepen-
dently (1WD). This mode of opera-
tion is well suited to turf driving or
whenever aggressive traction is not
required.
CAUTION
Damage to the differential can occur if it is engaged while the vehicle is
traveling at high speeds or while the rear wheels are spinning. Slow the
vehicle to nearly stopped before engaging the differential.
