All Wheel Drive
The Polaris RANGER 4X4 and 6X6 are equipped with a unique,
Polaris exclusive, All Wheel Drive (AWD) system, which is activated
by a switch on the dash (1). When the switch is off the RANGER is in
two-wheel drive at all times. When the switch is on the RANGER is in
AWD, and the front wheels will automatically engage any time the rear
wheels lose traction. When the rear wheels regain traction, the front
wheels will automatically disengage.
The AWD button position indicates when the vehicle is in AWD.
There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in AWD.
The AWD switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle is moving.
If the switch is turned off when the front hubs are driving, they will not
release until the rear wheels regain traction.
CAUTION
If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle before turning
the AWD switch on. If AWD is engaged while the wheels are
spinning, severe drive shaft and clutch damage could result.
