When the 4WD switch is on, the machine automatically
engages the 4-wheel drive if the sensor detects the
back wheels spinning freely. When the 4-wheel drive
is engaged, the 4WD switch light turns on.
Important:
When in reverse, the machine does
not automatically engage the 4-wheel drive.
In reverse, you must manually engage the 4-wheel
drive using the 4WD button.
To engage the 4-wheel drive manually, press and
hold the 4WD button on the center console while the
vehicle is in motion and the 4-wheel drive engages.
Note:
The 4-wheel drive remains engaged only as
long as you hold the button; the 4WD switch does not
need to be in the A
UTO
position to manually engage
the 4-wheel drive.

2. Fully press the clutch pedal.

pressing the accelerator pedal.
5. When the machine gains enough speed, remove
your foot from the accelerator pedal, fully press
the clutch pedal, move the gear-shift lever to the
next gear, and release the clutch pedal while
pressing the accelerator pedal.
6. Repeat the procedure until the desired speed
is attained.

Always stop the machine before
shifting to reverse from a forward gear or to
a forward gear from reverse.
