Cross axle situations
This is when there is considerable articulation between axles.
Study the terrain so that you know the area where the cross axle situation will occur.
Lock the central differential and rear axle differential where possible.
On the flat or up a hill, change into low ratio 2nd or 3rd gear, and into low ratio 1st when going downhill.
On the flat or up a hill, accelerate lightly just before the cross axle point.
When going downhill, brake lightly if necessary but never lock the wheels.
Should the vehicle’s progress halt, change into reverse and go back, then choose another line or
speed
