GENERAL INFORMATION 45 The KAF400A is equipped with a sub-transmission to allow maximum transmission efficiency. Use the low gearing for maximum torque at low speeds, for climbing hills, pulling a trailer, or keeping constant low speeds. The high gearing raises the speed range for ordinary off-highway use. Stop the vehicle before moving the Hi-Lo shift lever. j NOTICE Use of the high range for heavy loads, climbing hills, pulling a trailer, and sustained low speed riding can lead to premature wear of the torque converter belt and pulleys. Use low range for these conditions. Refer to the "Hi-Lo Shifting" section in the "How to Operate" chapter. 2WD-4WD Shift Lever (KAF400A) This vehicle can be operated either in "2WD" or "4WD". The 2WD-4WD shift lever is located on the dashboard, to the right of the steering shaft. Move the 2WD-4WD shift lever up or down as necessary.
