Wear is further reduced by cooling the torque converter with filtered air, courtesy of a special air cleaner that uses an easily replaceable filter element and an efficient intake cooling fan to draw sufficient air into the CVT.

The engine air cleaner is a cyclone-type Donaldson unit with a replaceable paper element. This efficient design needs less frequent cleaning, even with repeated use in extremely dusty off-road conditions. The Mule is equipped with a gauge indicating when the filter should be changed.

Helping the filter stay clean and last longer—especially in the rugged conditions for which this Kawasaki was built—the engine air and converter cooling air are drawn from the top of the cab frame, where there’s less dust.

Among this Mule’s many attributes are a dual-mode differential, limited slip front differential, two-speed transfer case for the four-wheel drive, independent MacPherson strut front suspension, DeDion rear suspension, and four-wheel, self-adjusting sealed hydraulic drum brakes.

Additional driver/passenger comfort is derived from the 23-inch tires with stiff sidewalls that improve off-road function and add ground clearance. The rear wheel bearings use two rollers in one large bearing for more durability.

The Mule 4010 Trans4x4 Diesel is equipped with several simple, dash-mounted controls that include the shift mechanism, digital hour meter, horn, speedometer, a 12-volt, 10-amp DC outlet and a pushbutton switch for the 35-watt, cat-eye headlights. A parking brake and coolant temperature warning light in plain view, and dual sealed glove boxes round out the operator-friendly cockpit of the Mule. The extendable cab is surrounded by the large-diameter steel tube frame structure that meets federal Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) requirements
