This switch allows the operator to oper-
ate the vehicle in either two-wheel drive
(rear wheels) or four-wheel drive (all
wheels) as well as mechanically lock the
differential (700 only) to apply equal
power to both front wheels. For normal
riding on flat, dry, hard surfaces, two-
wheel drive should be sufficient. In situa-
tions when additional traction is neces-
sary, four-wheel drive would be the
desired choice.
