I have a scrambler x 400 2002. I was reading in the manual that 4wd only kicks in when the back wheels begin to slip, is this the case for the machine that I have. What does the overide button do on the left handle bar? does it engage the 4wd system into full time 4wd. If not is there a way to always have 4x4 engaged. Has anyone had anyproblems with the polaris 4wd not engaging soon enough after the wheels begin slipping.
Thanx in advance

 

Ok...4wd only kicks in if your rear wheels spin. But its 1/5 of a turn, so really..you dont even notice it kicking in and out! Its a really cool system!

The over-ride button on the left hand grip is for reverse. When in reverse, there is a rev limiter to stop you from going too fast in reverse..if you hold this button in while in reverse, it over-rides this feature and gives you FULL throttle if you need it!

 

Another thing! When in reverse you will not have 4wd unless you press the override button.

 

R U sure about that?? Just curious..but i thought it would work just the same, spin and it kicks in..

 

Thanx for the info it solved all of my problems

 

By the way Scotts88 you got a great looking mustang, I just got rid of mine last month, It was an 88 gt 5.0, wish I still had but the motor and body were starting to slip. Plus I had to buy the scram.

 

Absolutely, positively sure.

 

about reverse:

when you press the button,,,,you will be locked in 4wd

this feature gets me out of just about any jam.

watch for the reverse wheelie however!!!!!

 

So what happens if you push the overide button while you are not in reverse, does that lock the wheels when moving forward

 

It doesnt do anything when going forward. I actually override my override button so that i dont have to push it in reverse or to have 4x4 in reverse. Its very handy
