2. Release the pedal before your hand leaves the

differential lock holder.
The differential lock is then maintained even if your
foot leaves the pedal.

3. The lock is released when the foot pedal is

depressed again.

IMPORTANT :

• When using the differential lock, always slow

the vehicle and engine down.

• To prevent damage to power train, do not

engage differential lock when one wheel is
spinning and the other is completely stopped.

2. Unfamiliar terrain

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Be sure to check for hidden obstacles or

hazards before driving in a new area.

• Keep your speed down until you know the area

well.

• Use existing trails and stay away from

hazardous areas such as steep, rocky slopes or
swamps.

• Be cautious when visibility is limited, as you

may not be able to see obstacles in your path.

3. Driving in reverse

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Turn around, look down and behind you before

backing up to be sure there are no obstacles or
people in your way.

• Depress speed control pedal gradually and

reverse cautiously.

• To stop while driving in reverse take your foot

off the speed control pedal and gradually apply
the brake.

• Do not suddenly engage the brake.

4. Driving in “4WD”

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Do not drive in “4WD” on paved surfaces.
• The steering characteristics are different

between 2 and 4 wheel drive.
Be aware of the difference and use carefully.

For the maximum traction, shift the range gear shift
lever into low range and use

“4WD”

on steep slopes or

when stuck in the mud, with differential locked if
necessary.
