Final gear oil
Make sure the final gear oil is at the specified level.
Add oil as necessary. (See pages 8-39–8-45 for
details.)
If desired, an SAE 80W-90 hypoid gear oil may be
used for all conditions.TIPTIPGL-4 is a quality and additive rating; GL-5 or GL-6
rated hypoid gear oils may also be used.

On-Command differential gear lock switch
“4WD”/“LOCK”
To lock the differential gear in four-wheel drive,
stop the vehicle, make sure the On-Command
four-wheel-drive switch is set to “4WD”, move the
differential gear lock lever to positiona, and then
set the switch to “LOCK”. When the differential
gear is locked, the differential gear lock indicator
light “DIFF. LOCK” will come on along with the dif-
ferential gear lock indicator “” in the multi-func-
tion display. To unlock the differential gear, stop
the vehicle and set the switch to “4WD”.

When the switch is set to “LOCK” or “4WD”, the
differential gear lock indicator and indicator
light will flash until the differential gear is com-
pletely locked or unlocked.


When the indicator and indicator light are flash-
ing, turning the steering wheel back and forth
will help the differential gear lock to engage or
disengage.


Driving before the differential gear is properly
engaged or disengaged (e.g., when the indica-
tor and indicator light are flashing) will cause
the engine speed to be limited until the differen-
tial gear is completely engaged or disengaged.

Become familiar with the way the vehicle feels in
low and high ranges, first in two-wheel drive
“2WD” and then in four-wheel drive “4WD” and
four-wheel drive with the differential locked
“LOCK”. Steering may take more effort in four-
wheel drive with the differential locked “LOCK”.
Also practice driving in reverse.
Take the time to learn basic operation of the vehi-
cle before attempting more difficult maneuvers.
Getting ready to ride
Perform the Pre-Operation Checks on pages 5-1–
5-33. Follow the instructions starting on pages
6-7–6-11 to start the engine.

Differential gear oil
Checking the differential gear oil level
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the differential gear oil filler bolt and
its gasket, and then check the oil level. It
should be up to the brim of the filler hole.
3. If the level is low, add sufficient oil of the rec-
ommended type to raise it to the specified
level. NOTICE: Be sure no foreign material
enters the differential gear case.
4. Check the gasket for damage, and replace it
if necessary.
5. Reinstall the differential gear oil filler bolt and
its gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the
specified torque.
Tightening torque:
Differential gear oil filler bolt:
23 Nm (2.3 m·kgf, 17 ft·lbf)

Changing the differential gear oil
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the differential gear case guard by
removing the bolts and the collars.
3. Place an oil pan under the differential gear
case to collect the used oil.
4. Remove the differential gear oil filler bolt, the
differential gear oil drain bolt and their gasket
to drain the oil.
5. Reinstall the differential gear oil drain bolt
and its new gasket, and tighten the bolt to the
specified torque.
Tightening torque:
Differential gear oil drain bolt:
9.8 Nm (0.98 m·kgf, 7.1 ft·lbf)

6. Refill the differential gear case with the rec-
ommended oil. NOTICE: Be sure no foreign
material enters the differential gear case.
7. Check the oil filler bolt gasket for damage,
and replace it if necessary.
8. Reinstall the differential gear oil filler bolt and
its gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the
specified torque.

The figures quoted are emission levels and are not
necessarily safe working levels. Whilst there is a
correlation between the emission and exposure
levels, this cannot be used reliably to determine
whether or not further precautions are required.
Factors that influence the actual level of exposure
of work-force include the characteristics of the
work room, the other sources of noise, etc. i.e. the
number of machines and other adjacent process-
es, and the length of time for which an operator is
exposed to the noise. Also the permissible expo-
sure level can vary from country. This information,
however, will enable the user of the machine to
make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.
