OPERATION
All Wheel Drive (AWD) System
Engaging 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.
