provid ing more torqu e to the wheel that has traction.

Trac-Lok™ is especially help ful during slippery driving
cond itions. With both rear wheels on a slippery surface, a
slight application of the accelerator will supply maxi-

an excessively slippery surface, slight application of the
parking brake may be necessary to gain maxim um trac-
tion.
