Temperature and Moisture

Temperature. the LOCK-RIGHT will operate at any tem-

perature that is likely to be encountered in the eld. However, if

your vehicle has been parked all night in the snow, for example,

the gear oil can become as thick as honey and this can cause the

parts to move more slowly than normal. We suggest that you

drive the vehicle for a few miles on-road to warm up the oil be-

fore taking it o-road. If you are already o-road, drive easily for

a while before doing dicult climbing.

Moisture. The following comments involve the whole

power train and we oer them to help assure a long life for your

vehicle in general and for your LOCK-RIGHT in parcular.

Sustained driving will substanally increase the

temperature of the axle housing, transmission, transfer

case, etc. If these units are suddenly plunged into cold wa-

ter, as when crossing a stream, for example, rapid cooling

can produce a vacuum. If the housing remains submerged,

water can be sucked in past the oil seals and into the gear oil.

Unl they mix, the water will sele to the boom; it is important

to carefully crack open the drain plug and remove the water as

soon as possible to prevent rust and corrosion.

Aer the oil and water have emulsied (mixed on a

microscopic level), high temperatures may not drive the water

out as readily as before mixing. Also, the oil-and-water mixture

will not lubricate well and will cause corrosion, so replace it with

fresh lubricant as soon as possible.

A similar high-temperature-then-vacuum situaon can

occur with U-joints. Aer submersion they should be greased as

soon as possible to drive out any water.

Troubleshoong

Your New LOCK-RIGHT is designed to oper-

ate trouble-free. If unusual noises or jerking begin to oc-

cur, the assembly should be removed and examined
