SAFE OPERATION 89 Driving in "4WD" "4WD" gives greater traction when you are climbing steep inclines, or driving on bumpy, sandy or slippery surfaces. It also helps, with the differential locked under certain circumstances, for example, when the vehicle is stuck in the mud. If maximum torque is needed in these situations, shift into the low position with the shift lever. Refer to the "Shift Levers" section and "2WD-4WD Shifting," "Shifting the Differential," and "Shifting Gears" sections. Turning the Vehicle The vehicle will turn in a smaller radius with the differential unlocked (in differential mode). In this mode, the rear wheels can turn at different speeds allowing the vehicle to turn tighter and more smoothly. Even in this mode, however, avoid sharp turns to keep the vehicle from tipping. Reduce vehicle speed before entering the turn and use the throttle to maintain an even speed through the turn. j NOTE WARNING In the differential mode, if either rear wheel leaves the ground it will spin freely, and the wheel on the ground will transmit very little power. When a spinning wheel touches the ground, it may grab abruptly, causing the operator to lose control. Do not make sharp turns, even in the differential mode, in order to avoid loss of control or tipping. Remember: żSlow down before entering the turn. żMaintain an even speed through the turn. żDo not drive in "4WD" on paved surfaces. It increases tire and drive train wear and makes the steering feel tight. żUse "4WD" on steep inclines or loose surfaces, or when stuck in the mud, with the differential locked if necessary. żFor maximum torque shift into low range. żDo not drive in "4WD" on paved surfaces.

SAFE OPERATION
89
j
Driving in “4WD”
“4WD” gives greater traction when you are climb-
ing steep inclines, or driving on bumpy, sandy or
slippery surfaces.
It also helps, with the differen-
tial locked under certain circumstances, for example,
when the vehicle is stuck in the mud. If maximum
torque is needed in these situations, shift into the
low position with the shift lever. Refer to the “Shift
Levers” section and “2WD-4WD Shifting,” “Shifting
the Differential,” and “Shifting Gears” sections.
NOTE
°
Do not drive in “4WD” on paved surfaces. It in-
creases tire and drive train wear and makes the
steering feel tight.
Remember:
°
Use “4WD” on steep inclines or loose surfaces, or
when stuck in the mud, with the differential locked
if necessary.
°
For maximum torque shift into low range.
°
Do not drive in “4WD” on paved surfaces.
Turning the Vehicle
The vehicle will turn in a smaller radius with
the differential unlocked (in differential mode).
In
this mode, the rear wheels can turn at different
speeds allowing the vehicle to turn tighter and more
smoothly. Even in this mode, however, avoid sharp
turns to keep the vehicle from tipping.
Reduce
vehicle speed before entering the turn and use the
throttle to maintain an even speed through the turn.
WARNING
In the differential mode, if either rear wheel
leaves the ground it will spin freely, and the
wheel on the ground will transmit very little
power. When a spinning wheel touches the
ground, it may grab abruptly, causing the op-
erator to lose control.
Do not make sharp
turns, even in the differential mode, in order
to avoid loss of control or tipping.
Remember:
°
Slow down before entering the turn.
°
Maintain an even speed through the turn.
