WHAT IS THE PNEUMATIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
The pneumatic locking differential can lockor unlock the differential when the vehicleis moving or stopped. The differential lockprovides full power to both wheels whenextra traction is required.
HOW DOES THE PNEUMATIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
WORK
If your vehicle is equipped with apneumatic locking differential:
•Power is transmitted to the oppositewheel should one of the wheels beginto slip.
•Raise both wheels off the ground if itbecomes necessary to operate onewheel with the vehicle stationary.
The differential can be locked or unlockedwhen the vehicle is moving at a constantspeed of less than 25 mph (40 km/h) andwhile the wheels are not slipping. Do notlock the differential when the vehicle istraveling down steep grades and tractionis minimal.
Note:Do not use the differential lock atvehicle speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h).
When the differential is locked, thevehicle’s turning radius increases causingundersteer.
The differential lock and differential locklight automatically disengage at speedsabove 25 mph (40 km/h). The differentiallock remains off until the vehicle isrestarted or the differential lock switch isturned off then back on.
PNEUMATIC LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Failure to raise all drivewheels with this type of differential couldcause the vehicle to move unexpectedly,resulting in property damage, personalinjury or death.
WARNING: Sudden accelerationon slippery surfaces could cause thewheels to spin, the vehicle to turnsideways on a crowned road surface orin a turn, possibly resulting in loss ofvehicle control and personal injury.
