Disengaging Awd - Polaris 2008 Defense MVRS 800 6X6 Owner's Manual

All Wheel Drive (AWD)
Press the top of the rocker switch to engage All Wheel Drive (AWD).
The illuminated amber AWD switch indicates that the vehicle is in
AWD.
When the AWD switch is on, the front wheels (and 6X6 center wheels)
will automatically engage any time the rear wheels lose traction. When
the rear wheels regain traction, the front wheels (and 6X6 center wheels)
will automatically disengage. 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 while the front hubs are driving, they will not
release until the rear wheels regain traction.
Switching to AWD while the rear wheels are spinning may cause severe drive
shaft and clutch damage. Always switch to AWD while the rear wheels have
traction or are at rest.

Disengaging AWD

Under certain conditions, it may be possible for the front gearcase to
remain locked unnecessarily. This condition causes increased steering
effort and some vehicle speed restriction. If the front gearcase remains
locked after following these instructions, return the vehicle to a Polaris
Defense service technician for service.
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Operate in reverse for at least 10 feet.
3. Stop completely.
4. Shift into low gear and drive forward.
