2011 Kawasaki MULE 610 4X4 XC Utility Vehicle - Key Features

• Extra-large 26-inch Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 radial tires mounted on 12-inch wheels offer substantial off-road capability

• Despite its 1.3-inch wider track than standard Mule 610, the XC still fits in a full-size pickup

• Large tires offer extra ground clearance – now 8.1 inches – for excellent rough-terrain capabilities

• Standard skid plates for the front differential, engine and rear diff add protection and greatly reduce the chances of getting hung up on obstacles

• All-weather seat cover provides a secure perch for the driver and passenger

• Sporty graphics give the XC a bold look to match its mission

• A sport steering wheel from the Teryx RUV enhances control and appearance

• Long front and rear suspension arms provide superb off-road performance

• Optimum brake pedal ratio, strong master-cylinder mount and high-performance brake shoes provide substantial braking performance

• Stain

• and scratch-resistant special black-texture paint in the cargo bed enhances the XC’s looks and durability

• Tailgate has a simple release for easy opening and closing

• The Mule’s simple and lightweight 401cc four-stroke single is compact, lightweight and extremely durable

• Overhead valve design provides maximum efficiency, while the XC’s carburetor helps provide excellent fuel economy

• Fan cooling helps the engine maintain an ideal operating temperature

• Cab frame air intake draws clean, uncontaminated air for the engine from the top of the cab

• High-mount exhaust design keeps the system dry and out of harm’s way

• An oil-temperature warning lamp linked to a crankcase sensor help prevent overheating

• The choke opens the throttle during starting so the accelerator pedal does not need to be depressed

• Stepping on the brake pedal allows the engine to be started in gear

• A rotating balance weight moves opposite the piston, dramatically reducing vibration and minimizing noise and wear for increased comfort and reduced fatigue

• Carburetor settings reduce exhaust emissions, a good thing for the environment

• Positive crankcase ventilation system recycles blow-by gases to the intake tract where they’re burned in the engine

• A USFS-approved spark arrestor in the muffler greatly reduces fire hazard

• California models have a check valve on the fuel tank/charcoal canister connector hose to prevent gasoline from entering the canister when operating on inclines or over rough terrain

• A simple and lightweight CVT (continuously variable transmission) is fully automatic and keeps engine speed in the most efficient range for any selected vehicle speed, load or terrain

• Fully automatic transmission features selectable two

• or four-wheel drive

• An open-sided drive pulley cools better for longer belt life

• Belt deflection can be easily adjusted by changing the shim thickness of the adjuster bolt located on the outside of the driven converter

• A die-cast aluminum belt converter has high silicon content for compactness and light weight, and offers excellent toughness and durability

• The belt converter case is sealed to keep out contaminants

• A long-wearing ATV-style double cog CVT belt provides long wear and minimal maintenance

• The belt converter’s air cleaner cover uses a clip-type clamp for easier maintenance, and a revised sealing method provides an improved seal

• A maintenance-free sealed bearing unit is used between the front and rear driveshafts

• Locked mode provides maximum traction in difficult conditions

• Unlocked mode decreases turning radius and minimizes ground disturbance – great for use on grass

• Ackerman rack-and-pinion steering provides precise, accurate handling and a small turning radius that facilitates working in tight quarters

• Rack-and-pinion system is durable, simple, easy to maintain and helps reduce tire wear

• Long-travel front suspension serves up a comfortable ride, excellent load-carrying capability and excellent terrain ability

• Simple, rugged single A-arm design provides a tight turning radius for extra maneuverability
