Hi. I was just reading the manual for my BX and the wording is kind of strange regarding the use of the diff lock. It says: "Important: To prevent damage to power train, do not engauge differential lock when one wheel is spinning and the other is completely stopped" All I can think is, when the hell else is one going to apply it?.....when one wheel is spinning and the other is stopped is exactly the kind of situation one wants/needs the differential to lock!
Two questions, First, how do you apply your diff lock (sounds like a dumb question, but read on)? I have been holding my foot on it gently when I think I'll need it to dig or something like that, then when a wheel starts to spin (and the other is stopped) I feel it drop down. Second, sometimes the steel pedal doesn't drop all the way down? It moves down about half way and the differential appears to lock anyway? I guess I'm not sure exactly how it is supposed to work. The dealer didn't say and the book makes no sense. Any suggestions comments would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jim
