CAUTION: Avoid personal injury or death. Reduce speed when driving on icy, wet, or graveled surfaces. Use correct ballast to avoid loss of steering control.

MFWD greatly increases traction, but it does not increase the stability of the machine. Use extra caution on slopes.

IMPORTANT: If the machine is under full load and mired down, engaging MFWD while tires are spinning has the potential to cause damage. Reducing the load and slowing wheel speed before engaging MFWD is highly recommended.

MFWD can be engaged and disengaged in all gears (forward and reverse) during normal operation and under load. To change the MFWD engagement make a selection from the table.
