extra traction is only for temporary limited use. Its use
does not replace the safe operation, already discussed
concerning steep hills and heavy loads.
The differential lock causes the rear wheels to spin at
the same speed. When using differential lock your
ability to make sharp turns is somewhat restricted and
may scuff the turf. Use the differential lock only when
needed, at slower speeds and only in first or second
gear.
Tipping or rolling the vehicle on a hill will cause
serious injury.
• The extra traction available with the
differential lock can be enough to get you
into dangerous situations such as climbing
slopes that are too steep to turn around.
Be extra careful when operating with the
differential lock on, especially on steeper
slopes.
• If the differential lock is on when making a
sharp turn at a higher speed and the inside
rear wheel lifts off the ground, there may be
a loss of control which could cause vehicle
to skid. Use the differential lock only at
slower speeds.
Four Wheel Drive (Four Wheel
Drive Models Only)
The Automatic on Demand four wheel drive feature, on
this vehicle does not require operator activation. The
front wheel drive is not engaged (no power delivered
to front wheels) until the rear wheels begin to lose
traction. The bidirectional clutch senses the rear wheels
slipping, engages the front wheel drive, and delivers
power to the front wheels. The four wheel drive system
continues to deliver power to the front wheels until the
rear wheels have enough traction to move the vehicle
without slipping. Once this occurs, the system stops
delivering power to the front wheels and the handling
characteristics become similar to that of a two wheel
drive vehicle. The four wheel drive system functions
in both froward and reverse, however, when turning
the rear wheels will slip slightly more before power is
delivered to the front wheels.
Tipping or rolling the vehicle on a hill will cause
serious injury.
The extra traction available with the four wheel
drive feature can be enough to get you into
dangerous situations such as climbing slopes
that are too steep to turn around. Be careful
when operating, especially on steeper slopes.

Transporting Vehicle

For moving the vehicle long distances, use a trailer.
Make sure the vehicle is secured to the trailer. Refer to
Figure 29 & Figure 30 for the location of the tie down
points.
Important: Trailers weighing over 1500 lb (680 kg)
are required to be equipped with trailer brakes.
