Operating Mechanical Front Wheel Drive (MFWD)-If Equipped

IMPORTANT: Prevent possible gear damage. Mechanical front wheel drive (MFWD) can be engaged and disengaged while driving, except in cases of unequal traction. Machine must be stopped before engaging MFWD during unequal traction.

NOTE: For best performance, fuel economy, and tire wear, operate MFWD only when needed.

To achieve best MFWD performance, be sure front tires are inflated to proper air pressure. (See Tire Inflation Pressures in Maintenance-As Required chapter.)

NOTE: It may take several seconds for MFWD to engage or disengage depending on the mechanical gearing of the MFWD assembly.

Push MFWD switch (A) UP to engage MFWD drive shaft. MFWD indicator (B) will remain lit while MFWD is engaged.

Push MFWD switch DOWN to disengage MFWD.
