DIFFERENTIAL LOCK
WARNING
•With the differential lock engaged, vehicle turning functions are greatly reduced. To prevent loss of vehicle control when differential lock is engaged, do not operate vehicle at speeds greater than half throttle and use caution when attempting to turn the vehicle.
•Disengage differential lock on paved surfaces.
The differential lock is used to provide better traction at the rear wheels when necessary. Engaging the differential lock will transfer power to both rear wheels simultaneously (Figure 10).
1.To engage the differential lock, slow the vehicle to no more than half throttle and pull differential lock handle toward the back of the vehicle. The differential lock will engage when power to both rear wheels is required.
2.To disengage the differential lock, come to a complete stop, then push lever toward front of vehicle.
LOW OIL WARNING LIGHT
The vehicle is equipped with a low oil warning light, located on the instrument panel just to the right of the steering column and key switch (Figure 11). If the warning light comes on, oil should be checked and added to the engine as necessary before continuing to use the vehicle. The vehicle should never be driven when the low oil warning light remains on. If the warning light goes on and off, the vehicle may be driven, but oil should be added at the first opportunity. If the oil level is correct and the warning light stays on, have a trained technician check the vehicle.
See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
•Failure to add oil immediately when the low oil warning light stays on may result in permanent engine damage.
