Differential Lock Lever
The rear axle is equipped with a lockable differential that allows the driver to choose between a locked differential or
unlocked differential. It is beneficial to lock the differential in low-traction situations. To lock the differential, while
driving slowly, push the differential lever until it goes all the way forward into the locked position. Disengagement is
simply the reversal of the engagement procedure.
Slight changes in direction of travel while operating the lever may assist in the engagement and disengagement of the
differential lock.
Damage to the differential can occur if the differential lock is engaged while the vehicle is traveling at high speeds or
while the rear wheels are spinning without traction.
CAUTION
Using the differential lock feature requires special care. Using the vehicle incorrectly can cause rollover. The vehicle’s steering
firms up while the differential lock is engaged.
WARNING
While the differential lock is engaged, do not operate the vehicle at speeds greater than 10 mph.
