Precision-engineered drive system optimizes acceleration, hauling, towing, and hill-climbing capabilities

The Gator™ XUV Mid-Size Crossover Series Utility Vehicles have a precision-engineered drivetrain system that fully utilizes engine power, optimizing acceleration, hauling, towing, and hill-climbing capabilities. Power is transmitted from the engine through a continuously variable clutch system to the transaxle.

Key elements of the drive system include:

VARIABLE-SPEED DRIVE

The variable-speed drive consists of two clutches and a drive belt:

• Drive clutch is attached to the engine.


• Driven clutch is attached to the transaxle.


• Ability to creep along slowly to maneuver in tight spaces


• Standard full-clutch enclosure with a high intake and exhaust ensures a dry belt when crossing water


• High-speed fan on drive clutch provides longer belt and clutch life by keeping components cool


• TEAM® industry clutches provide high performance and longevity

How the variable-speed drive works:

• As engine speed increases, the spring-loaded drive clutch is closed by weights being forced out by centrifugal force.


• As the drive clutch closes, the belt rides up to the largest diameter of the drive clutch and forces open the driven clutch.


• With the belt running in the smallest diameter of the driven clutch, the speed being transferred to the transaxle is increased.


• The driven clutch is designed to sense varying loads (inclines, mud, etc.) and constantly adjusts drive speed upward or downward so that engine rpm remains optimal.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD), TRANSAXLE, MECHANICAL FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE (MFWD), AND CONSTANT-VELOCITY (CV) SHAFTS

4WD

Selectable 4WD system with a limited slip front differential and dash-mounted electronic rocker switch

• Provides exceptional traction in challenging conditions


• Maintains turf-friendly operation in two-wheel drive (2WD) mode


• Combined with rear traction assist (differential lock), provides excellent traction in challenging conditions


• More control descending hills with 4WD engaged, as all four wheels help slow the vehicle down


• Clutch engagement still necessary to prevent free coasting

Transaxle

• Low, high, neutral, reverse, and park transaxle


• Automotive-style, integrated park position in transmission


• To shift out of park, service brake must be pressed to release the parking solenoid. An audible click will be heard and allows the vehicle to shift out of park into the desired gear.


• Low range for maximum torque delivered to the wheels for hauling, pushing, and pulling


• High range for maximum vehicle speed


• Cast-aluminum design for lower weight


• Helical forward and reverse gears are used for quiet operation

Rear traction assist (differential lock) is controlled with an electronic rocker switch

• NOTE: Locked differential design may increase scuffing of the turf during turns because the rear wheels are turning at the same speed through a turn.


• Contains gear-case for transferring power to the MFWD


• Splined shaft interfaces for maximum torque transfer and durability
