Transfer Case — If
Equipped
Operating Information and Precautions
The Command-Trac
威
transfer case provides four posi-
tions:
•
Two–wheel drive (2WD) high range
•
Four-wheel drive (4WD LOCK) high range
•
Four-wheel drive (4WD LOW) low range
•
Neutral (N)
This transfer case is intended to be driven in the two-
wheel drive position (2WD) for normal street and high-
way conditions such as dry hard-surfaced roads.
When additional traction is required, select the transfer
case 4WD LOCK position or 4WD LOW position. This
position locks the front driveshaft and rear driveshaft
together and forces the front and rear wheels to rotate at
the same speed.
Use the transfer case NEUTRAL position for recreational
towing only. Refer to “Recreational Towing” in this
section for specific procedures on shifting into and out of
NEUTRAL.
CAUTION!
•
Do not attempt to make a shift while only the front
wheels or rear wheels are spinning. The MP1522
Command-Trac
威
transfer case is not equipped
with a synchronizer and therefore the speed of the
front driveshaft and rear driveshaft must be equal
for the shift to take place. Shifting while only the
front wheels or rear wheels are spinning can cause
damage to the transfer case.
