IMPORTANT: If the ground is soft, give constant attention to rear chassis angle. If rear chassis starts to lean sideways excessively, stop machine immediately.

2. Engage inter-axle lock.

3. Select drive (D) on gearshift control.

4. Drive off slowly, keeping engine speed constant.

5. Turn steering wheel one way and then the other to assist with traction until machine is free and can be operated normally.

CAUTION: Prevent injury or property damage caused by sudden movement of machine. DO NOT shift from neutral (N) to drive (D) or reverse (R) when accelerator is depressed.

If shifting while pressing accelerator, the transmission will engage only if accelerator is released in the next 3 seconds causing transmission to remain in neutral (N). Avoid this condition by making shifts from neutral (N) to drive (D) or reverse (R) only when accelerator is released.

IMPORTANT: If the wheels are stuck and not turning, do not apply full power for more than 30 seconds in either drive (D) or reverse (R) or transmission will overheat.

If transmission overheats, select neutral (N) on gear shift control and operate engine at 1500 rpm until it cools (2-3 minutes).

If machine is stuck in deep sand, snow or mud, it may be possible to rock it out as follows:

2. When vehicle has rocked forward as far as it will go, apply service brakes.

3. Allow engine to return to slow idle.

4. Select reverse (R) on gearshift control.

5. Release service brakes and apply a steady, light throttle and allow machine to rock in reverse (R) as far as it will go.

6. Apply and hold service brake and allow engine to return to slow idle.

7. Repeat procedure.
