Cons i d e raons ( co nnu e d )

• Clunk - Most drivelines may produce a “clunk” due to the driveline’s inherent backlash

when stepping on and of the gas. The Powertrax No-Slip Tracon System may

make this characterisc more prominent in some vehicles. Standard shi ve-

hicles usually exhibit this condion more than automac shi vehicles.

• Side-Slip - Use extreme cauon when accelerang or decelerang on slippery or un-

stable surfaces. Vehicles equipped with tracon adding dierenals are inher-

ently more sensive to side-slip than vehicles equipped with convenonal

dierenals. Stability can be improved if side-slip occurs by decelerang.

***Cauon: Do not apply the brake or brake very carefully if necessary using

extreme cauon. Loss of vehicle control may result.

• Driveline Windup - When a vehicle turns, each wheel follows a slightly dierent path

causing each wheel to turn at a slightly dierent rate. In many “selectable”

4-wheel drive vehicles that have no compensang “center transfer cases”, en-

gaging the front axles will cause the wheels to try to “slip” a lile as the vehicle

is turning to equalize dierences in wheel rotaons. On poor tracon surfaces,

such as dirt, etc., this acon occurs relavely unnoced. However, hard trac-

on surfaces ght the driveline’s aempt to equalize. As a result, the driveline

can become highly stressed and may bind up or even break. Manufactur-

ers of these type of vehicles require that the vehicle not be driven on hard

surfaces in 4-wheel drive mode with the front axles engaged. Full-me 4-wheel

drive vehicles and “selectable” 4-wheel drive vehicles with compensang “cen-

ter dierenals” migate this condion. Using the Powertrax No-Slip Tracon

System in these vehicles will not reduce driveline windup. The vehicle owner

must conform to the operaon recommendaons of the vehicle manufacturer.
