Bush Hog TH420 Automobile User Manual


 
WARNING
4-Wheel Drive
Your Bush Hog Utility Vehicle is equipped with an exclusive 4-wheel
drive system that can be activated by a switch on the dash board.
When the switch is off, the vehicle is in two-wheel drive at all times.
When the switch is in 4-wheel drive, the front wheels will automati-
cally engage anytime the rear wheels begin to lose traction. When
the rear wheels regain traction, the front wheels will automatically dis-
engage.
The 4-wheel drive switch light indicates whether the vehicle is in 4-
wheel drive. There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may
remain in 4-wheel drive.
The 4-wheel drive switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle is
moving. If the switch is turned off while the front hubs are driving, they
will not release until the rear wheels regain traction.
Disengaging 4-Wheel Drive
Under certain conditions, it may be possible for one or both hubs to
remain engaged unnecessarily. This condition causes increased
steering effort and some vehicle speed restriction.
Take the following steps to disengage the 4-wheel drive system:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift to reverse and back up a minimum of 10 feet.
CAUTION
SWITCHING TO 4-WHEEL DRIVE WHILE THE REAR
WHEELS ARE SPINNING MAY CAUSE SEVERE DRIVE
SHAFT AND CLUTCH DAMAGE. ALWAYS SWITCH TO 4-
WHEEL DRIVE WHILE THE REAR WHEELS HAVE TRAC-
TION OR ARE AT REST.
