Notes on the locking differential
After a breaking-in period of 2000 miles
(3000 km) the oil on the locking differential
should be changed in a qualified specialist work‐
shop. This oil change prolongs the service life of
the locking differential.
Be sure to observe the information sticker
regarding the breaking-in notes on the wind‐
shield.
