DIFFERENTIAL LOCK
ý
WARNING
• With the differential lock engaged, vehicle turning functions are greatly reduced. To prevent
loss of vehicle control when differential lock is engaged, do not operate vehicle at speeds
greater than half throttle and use caution when attempting to turn the vehicle.
• Disengage differential lock on paved surfaces.
The differential lock is used to provide better traction at the rear wheels when necessary. Engaging the differ-
ential lock will transfer power to both rear wheels simultaneously
(Figure 8) .
1. To engage the differential lock, slow the vehicle to no more than half throttle and pull differential lock han-
dle toward the back of the vehicle. The differential lock will engage when power to both rear wheels is
required.
2. To disengage the differential lock, come to a complete stop, then push lever toward front of vehicle.
LOW OIL WARNING LIGHT
The vehicle is equipped with a low oil warning light, located on the instrument panel just to the right of the
steering column and key switch
(Figure 9) . If the warning light comes on, oil should be checked and added to
the engine as necessary before continuing to use the vehicle. The vehicle should never be driven when the
low oil warning light remains on. If the warning light goes on and off, the vehicle may be driven, but oil should
be added at the first opportunity. If the oil level is correct and the warning light stays on, have a trained tech-
nician check the vehicle.
See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Failure to add oil immediately when the low oil warning light stays on may result in permanent
engine damage.
FUEL GAUGE/HOUR METER
The fuel gauge and hour meter are housed together at the lower left corner of the instrument panel. The fuel
gauge operates when the key switch is in the ON position, and allows the operator to monitor the fuel level in
the vehicle. The hour meter operates only when the engine is running, and should be used by the trained
technician to track vehicle usage and determine when periodic service procedures are required.
See Peri-
odic Service Schedule on page 24.
