OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
If you do not set both hubs to the
"LOCK" position when you shift the
transfer lever to a 4-wheel drive posi-
tion (4L or 4H), the vehicle will not
operate in 4-wheel drive. As a result,
you may not have the traction you ex-
pect on slippery surfaces and may
lose control.
Be careful when you lock and unlock
the hubs. They may be hot and could
burn your fingers.
CAUTION
About once a month you should
drive a few miles with the hubs in
the "LOCK" position and the trans-
fer lever in the 2H position. This
helps keep the operation of the
free-wheeling mechanism smooth
and provides lubrication to the
front axle components.
When locking and unlocking a hub,
turn the hub dial all the way until
it stops and the two marks (•) are
aligned. If you set a hub dial to a
half-engaged position, the hub may
be damaged when you drive the
vehicle.
Automatic Free-Wheeling Hubs
(If Equipped)
Ifyourvehicle is equipped with automatic
free-wheeling hubs, you can lock or
unlock the hubs automatically, without
getting out of the vehicle.
To lock the hubs:
1) Stop the vehicle completely.
2) Disengage the clutch and shift the
transfer lever to one of the 4-wheel
drive positions (4L or 4H).
3) Begin driving slowly. The hubs willlock
automatically when you begin to drive
the vehicle.
To unlock the hubs:
1) Stop the vehicle completely.
2) Disengage the clutch and shift the
transfer lever to 2H.
