It is important to limit situations known
to make the drive belt slip excessively.
The main reason the drive belt will slip
is if the gearbox is in high range when
it should be in low range.
Pay attention to the following:
L L o o w w R R a a n n g g e e
Low range should be used whenever:
– Pulling
– Pushing
– Hauling a load
– 4x4 applications
– Mud holes
– Water holes
– Crossing obstacles
– Climbing onto trailer
– Hill climbing
It is also recommended to use low
range if driving for prolonged periods
at speeds under 24 km/h (15 MPH).

drive belt break-in information.
