OPERATION
Differential Operation Modes
The rear axle is equipped with a lockable differential. On AWD
models, engaging AWD locks the front differential and the rear
differential.
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.
AWD (4X4)
When in AWD, the rear wheels rotate
at the same speed. The front wheels
also rotate at the same speed. See page
50 for AWD operating instructions.
2WD/Rear Differential Locked
When the rear dif ferential is locked,
both rear wheels rotate at the same
speed. It’s beneficial to lock the
differential in low traction situations.
To lock the differential on the TM,
push the lock lever up.
To lock the differential on the 2X4 and
4X4, move the AWD/Differential
Switch to the center (2WD) position.
OFF/Differential Unlocked
When the rear dif ferential is unlocked,
the rear wheels can rotate at different
speeds. Unlock the differential to
make maneuvering easier and
minimize damage to turf.
To unlock the differential on the TM,
push the lock lever down.
To unlock the differential on the 2X4
and 4X4, move the AWD/Differential
