Lock up the differential when traction is poor. Both wheels will turn at the same speed.The differential lock will provide maximum traction at all times. The differential lock can prevent wheel slippage. Use the differential lock pedal when the machine is moving on soft ground or on wet ground. Excessive wheel spin and uncontrolled wheel spin can cause accelerated wear to certain components of the drive train.To prevent damage to the differential lock, do not engage the differential lock control at high speeds.Do not turn the machine while the differential lock is engaged.Do not engage the differential lock control while one wheel is spinning. Decrease the engine rpm until the wheel stops the spinning. Anticipate using the differential lock before wheel slippage occurs.The differential normally unlocks when the floor switch is released. In areas of high resistance, it may be necessary to turn the machine slightly in order to aid in unlocking the differential lock. Decreasing the engine rpm may also be helpful.
