■ 4-Wheel Drive Lever

(a) 4-wheel drive mode
(b) 2-wheel drive mode
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage.
●ALWAYS keep the 4-wheel drive lever in the OFF
position when traveling on a paved surface.
●ALWAYS disengage the 4-wheel drive lever when
not needed to prevent premature wear of the front
tires.
●NEVER install tire chains to the front wheels.
Chains will hit and can damage the tractor.
●If disengaging the 4-wheel drive lever is difficult,
stop the tractor, turn the steering wheel right and
left several times. Then attempt to disengage the
4-wheel drive lever again.
●To minimize tire wear, drive in the 4-wheel drive
mode only when absolutely necessary. Driving the
tractor on a paved road in the 4-wheel drive mode
can accelerate wear of the tires.
●To obtain better traction, keep the front tires at the
maximum allowable pressure.
●When the 4-wheel drive lever is in the ON position,
braking will apply to all four wheels.
