Differential lock, transfers equal power to both rear wheels. Make sure rear wheels are not turning. Declutch. Push diff lock pedal. Release declutch. Increase engine speed and release diff lock pedal. Diff lock will release automatically when load is removed. From operator's manual.

You can engage it while moving straight ahead, make sure one wheel is not turning faster than the other. Not while turning or with tire spinning.

You can hold down the lock pedal while moving but don't press it down if one wheel is turning faster than the other. You will damage.

You may not be able to turn while the lock is engaged.
