2) Switching from four-wheel drive to two-wheel drive
This switching operation is only possible in high range.
NOTE
When low range has been selected, two-wheel drive is unavailable.
NOTE
The following are the available combinations of high/low range with two/four wheel drive.
・ High range + two-wheel drive
・
High range + four-wheel drive
・ Low range + four-wheel drive (automatic switching)
While switching between four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive, the lamp flashes to indicate
mode shifting in process.
Never start the machine moving while the lamp is flashing as the gear could be broken as a result.

・ Stop the machine to change between four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive.
If it is difficult to switch, do so while driving at extremely low speed.
Changeover is not possible if the machine is moving at 3km/h or more. If you do so at 3km/h
or more, the misoperation warning buzzer will sound.
・
Four-wheel drive is provided for driving on unusual surfaces which are impassable when
using two-wheel drive.
Driving on roads for long periods using four-wheel drive imposes an excessive load on the
transmission and the axle reduction gear, causing increased tire wear and possibly breakdown
in the transmission and the axle reduction gear.
