OPERATION
All Wheel Drive (AWD)
Press the top of the rocker switch to engage All Wheel Drive (AWD).
Once enabled, the AWD remains enabled until the switch is turned off.
The AWD switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle is moving.
When the AWD switch is on, the front gearcase will automatically
engage any time the rear wheels lose traction. When the rear wheels
regain traction, the front gearcase will automatically disengage.
Tip: AWD will not engage initially until speed is less than 5 MPH (8 km/h).
Engage the AWD before getting into
conditions where front wheel drive
may be needed. If the rear wheels are
spinning, release the accelerator
before switching to AWD.
NOTICE: Switching to AWD while the
rear wheels are spinning may
cause severe drive train
damage. Always switch to
AWD while the rear wheels
have traction or are at rest.
Locking the Differential
NOTICE: 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.
Locking the differential in slippery or
low traction conditions helps improve
traction. Move the rocker switch to
the center position (2WD) to lock the
differential and operate in rear wheel
drive.
Press the bottom of the switch to unlock the differential and allow the
rear drive wheels to operate independently. This mode of operation is
well suited to turf driving or whenever aggressive traction is not
required.
