Using the 4-Wheel
Drive/Differential Lock(s)
WARNING
Loss of control or damage to the machine or
turf can happen if you do not properly use the
4-wheel drive/differential lock(s).
• The machine speed must be at 16 km/h (10
mph) or less to engage the 4-wheel drive.
• The machine speed must be at 8 km/h (5
mph) or less to engage the differential
lock(s).
• You can release the 4-wheel
drive/differential lock(s) while the
machine is in motion. The 4-wheel
drive/differential lock(s) may stay engaged
while an axle load is present. The 4-wheel
drive/differential lock(s) releases once you
remove an axle load.
• Use 4-wheel drive/differential lock(s) only
when necessary for improved ground
engagement.
WARNING
Tipping or rolling the machine on a hill will
cause serious injury.
• The extra traction available with the
4-wheel drive/differential lock(s) can
be enough to get you into dangerous
situations, such as climbing slopes that are
too steep to turn around. Be careful when
operating with the 4-wheel drive/differential
lock(s) on, especially on steeper slopes.
• If the 4-wheel drive/differential lock(s) are
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 the machine to skid.
Use the 4-wheel drive/differential lock(s)
only at slower speeds.
