|
|
| Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System (KAPS) |
• Fully automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) features forward high and low and reverse, and helps keep the engine in the right operating rpm for a variety of vehicle speeds, loads, or terrain
• The CVT has a wide spread of drive ratios for quick acceleration and ample pulling power
• Large drive and driven torque converters maximize engagement area of the thick and strong drive belt for improved heat dissipation and add durability
• High-flow cover helps cool the CVT while providing superb splash protection and water proofing
• Sheaves with high silicon type material for increased durability
|
|
| Torque Converter Air Filter |
• Efficient intake cooling fan draws plenty of air into the CVT
• Special air cleaner with easily replaceable filter element cuts torque converter wear by cooling it with filtered air
|
|
| Dual-Mode Differential |
• Strong bevel gear set and rear axle for increased durability
• Locked mode for maximum traction, unlocked mode to minimize ground disturbance
|
|
| Limited-Slip Front Differential |
• Allows great traction with low steering effort
|
|
| Four-Wheel Drive with Two-Speed Transfer Case |
• Selectable four-wheel drive gives the operator traction options
• Shift to four-wheel drive and low range for maximum traction in adverse conditions or select two-wheel drive and high range to cut gear wear and increase fuel economy
|
|
| Electric Power Steering (EPS) |
• The EPS system reduces steering effort, especially at low speeds when turning effort is greatest
• The electric motor’s inertia significantly reduces bump steer and kickback to the steering wheel caused by shocks to the wheels for a more comfortable and controlled ride
• Input from vehicle speed and torque sensors determine the amount of steering assistance required from the system’s motor
• No power steering pump, so there is no power loss from the engine
• EPS only operates when the engine is running to keep from draining the battery
|
|
| Independent Strut-Type Front Suspension |
