Using Four Wheel Drive (4WD)

The 4WD system is manual shift, allowing the power train to drive the front wheels in addition to the rear wheels for improved traction on difficult ground conditions.

Only use tires listed in the SPECIFICATIONS to avoid 4WD damage.

Engaging and Disengaging 4WD

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Do not engage 4WD when the rear wheels are slipping, internal gears can be damaged. Machine must be stopped or traveling at a steady speed, in a straight line, to engage 4WD.

• Push down on 4WD lever to engage.
• Pull up on 4WD lever to disengage. If traveling forward, it can be necessary to lift foot from the accelerator momentarily to allow 4WD to disengage.

Tips for operating 4WD:

• Maintain recommended front and rear tire pressures to ensure optimum performance on all surface conditions.
• Disengage 4WD when driving machine on paved or hard packed surfaces to increase front tire life and reduce drivetrain wear.
