Owner’s Manual and Service Guide
Read all of Manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
Fig. 13 Console Controls
The differential lock should only be used when additional trac-
tion is required. Continued use of the differential lock may
cause excessive wear to the rear tires
.
The vehicle must be completely stopped before engag-
ing or disengaging the differential lock. Failure to stop will
damage the differential.
To engage the differential lock, stop vehicle and push the
lock lever forward towards the red ‘locked’ symbol (Ref
Fig. 13 on page 9).
To disengage the differential lock, stop the vehicle and
push the differential lock lever backward towards the
green ‘unlocked’ symbol. After unlocking, the differential
may remain locked if driving is resumed in a straight line.
This is a normal occurrence caused by pressure remain-
ing against the gears and not allowing the locking mech-
anism to release. To avoid this, simply turn the vehicle as
acceleration begins or accelerate in reverse.
Choke
Located on the console between the front seats (Ref Fig.
13 on page 9), the choke is used to aid cold starting. See
‘Cold Starting’ (Refer to page 11) for instructions on using
the choke properly.
Accelerator Pedal
Depressing the accelerator pedal starts the engine.
When the pedal is released, the engine will stop (Ref Fig.
14 on page 9).
Fig. 14 Accelerator, Brake and Horn
Service Brake Pedal
Depressing the foot operated service brake pedal acti-
vates the wheel brakes, slowing or stopping the vehicle
(Ref Fig. 14 on page 9).
Horn
The horn is an electric powered unit that is activated by a
push button located on the upper floorboard to the left of
the brake pedal (Ref Fig. 14 on page 9).
12 Volt Power Outlet
Overuse of accessories may drain the battery and leave
insufficient reserve to start the vehicle.
A 12 volt power outlet is located to the left side of the key/
light switch (Ref Fig. 15 on page 9). It provides constant
power for accessories equipped with a 12 volt plug.
