EFTA00793229  CHASSIS Ideal Chassis Size & Dimensions The MULE PRO-DXT`m features chassis design that help provide a comfortable ride without compromising maneuverability for performance. • Wide track contributes to vehicle performance. • Optimized wheelbase contributes to a relatively tight turning radius, which makes it easier to maneuver in close confines. • Combined with the MULE PRO-DXT's ground clearance, the wheelbase dimension also contributes to a more favorable breakover angle (309), which reduces the chance of bottoming out when cresting a ridge or driving over obstacles. • High approach and departure angles (78° and 63°, respectively) also contribute to the MULE PRO- DXT's off-road performance. Minimizing bodywork overhang (positioning the wheels as close to the bumpers as possible) reduces the chance of hitting the bumper or scraping the tail when going up or coming down steep hills. Frame Stiffness Balanced for Superb Handling • The MULE PRO-DXT's rugged frame construction offers great durability as well as superb handling. ( • The frame features a ladder-type construction and is built from square tubes of high-quality steel. The frame components are joined together using a combination of welds and bolts to achieve highly predictable chassis performance and high durability. • High-load areas such as the suspension mounting plates are constructed of high-tensile steel. • After undergoing extensive stiffness balance testing, the resulting frame offers a good balance between lateral and torsional stiffness. This delivers high durability while allowing just the right amount of chassis flex to be able to handle variations in terrain and provide a high level of ride comfort. EFTA00793230 CHASSIS CONTINUED Trans Cab"' System: One-person Transformation in About One Minute • Adding to the MULE PRO-DXT's versatility, Kawasaki's unique Trans Cab feature offers the ability to maximize carrying capacity with the extended cargo bed in 3-person mode or maximize personnel transport in 6-person mode. The system enables transformations to be done quickly, with one person, in about one minute. • The sliding cargo wall is integrated with the cargo bed and slides easily on nylon pads making it possible for a single person to execute the transformation. • Cargo bed side walls are hinged, allowing the front parts to fold out of the way when the cargo wall slides into its rearward position. • To transform from 6-person mode to 3-person mode, release the seat latches and lift the cargo wall struts to disengage the cargo wall securing mechanism fold the seat bottom out of the way; slide the cargo wall forward; lower the cargo wall struts and reattach the seat latches to secure the cargo wall. The reverse process is used to convert back to 6-person mode. MULE PRO-FXV" LE MODEL SHOWN High Cargo and Towing Capacity • The cargo bed's flat bottom facilitates loading. The highly durable bed is made of diamond-plate steel. • Gas-assisted tilting cargo bed provides quick engine access. • Cargo bed features a two-lever tailgate release system for easy opening and closing.

High-Grade Electric Power Steering(" ) (Except KAF1000AJF) • The electric power steering system (EPS) reduces steering effort, especially at low speeds. Input from a vehicle speed sensor and torque sensor determine the amount of steering assistance required from the system's electric motor. At slow speeds, or when stopped, assistance is greatest. Assistance is reduced as vehicle speed increases. It all adds up to superior handling. • The EPS system also enhances ride comfort and control by acting as a damping system. The inertia of the electric motor significantly reduces bump steer and kickback to the steering wheel often caused when encountereing rocks or ruts. • Since the system is electric, it works immediately, without the time lag sometimes associated with hydraulic systems that, when the engine is first started, require time to pump engine oil to the power steering system. • Because the EPS system does not rely on oil pumped from the engine, there is no engine power loss. Tilt Steering Wheel • Steering wheel has a stepless range of approximately 34°, allowing drivers to set its position to suit their preference, as well as lift it out of the way to facilitate entering and exiting the vehicle. • Thickly cushioned steering wheel contributes to comfort as well as the high-quality feel of the MULE PRO-DXT. EFTA00793232 CHASSIS CONTINUED Rugged Styling • Designed to reflect its tough construction and strong performance, the MULE PRO-DXT features rugged, no-nonsense styling similar to that found on high-quality pickup trucks. • Complementing its wide stance, the angular form of the MULE PRO-DXT adds to its imposing physique. • Steel front bumper enhances the rugged looks. • Door decals are color-matched to the bodywork, creating a design that flows continuously from the front to the rear. • Clean dashboard design includes switches for the lamps, selectable 4WD, and rear differential lock. Four spaces (five in the case of EPS and EPS LE models) for additional accessory switches are provided, as well as two 12-volt auxiliary power outlets. EFTA00793233 COMFORT & CONVENIENCE Complementing the MULE PRO-DXT's superb performance, there are also a number of comfort and convenience features to ensure that passengers are able to relax and enjoy the ride.

I EFTA00793238  KAW-PEDIA DUAL-MODE DIFFERENTIAL Features: Dual-mode differentials in the unlocked mode allow the drive wheels to revolve at different speeds. This can eliminate wheel slippage under certain conditions. Locking dogs are machined into the outside of the differential gear. Shifting a coupling into engagement with the locking dogs causes the differential to lock and work like a solid axle. In the locked mode, the left and right drive wheels now turn at the same speed, increasing traction. Benefits: The locking differential lets the operator choose the mode of operation: unlocked so the soil or grass is not disturbed preserving the environment, or locked for increased traction for rough terrain or pulling a trailer. ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) Features: There are three basic components of the EPS system; a power-assist unit on the steering shaft assembly, an ECU and speed sensor. ( Vehicle speed is calculated by the ECU using signals from the speed sensor. Once the ECU makes its calculations, it controls the amount and direction of current supplied to the power assist unit's reversible motor. The motor runs a worm gear that turns a larger drive gear, which is made of a plastic composite to reduce mechanical shock and operational noise in the actuator. Within the actuator the input shaft from the steering wheel and output shaft to the steering gear assembly are connected by a torsion bar that allows the shafts to rotate at different rates, depending on the amount of torque applied to the input shaft or rotational force on the output shaft generated by the steering assembly. The input shaft passes through the torque sensor and as the input/output shafts rotate, the torsional twist between the shafts move the sensor's rotor up or down. This changes the magnetic field acting on the right and left turn coils. The ECU senses this change of voltage on the coils and adjusts the amount of current to the motor. Benefits: The power assisted steering reduces steering effort to ease driver fatigue, especially when the four-wheel drive mode is engaged. Since the EPS is a variable-assist system it provides increased assistance at low speeds, where it's needed most, while reducing the assistance at higher vehicle speeds. The electric motor's inertia also significantly reduces bump steer and kickback to the steering wheel often caused when encountering rocks and ruts for a more comfortable and controlled ride. KAWASAKI AUTOMATIC POWER-DRIVE SYSTEM (KAPS)/ CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) Features: An automatic transmission system featuring a torque converter that has two variable-diameter pulleys. A large V-belt transmits power from the crankshaft mounted pulley to the pulley on the transmission input shaft. The tL ; crankshaft pulley increases in diameter as engine RPM increases applying more load to the engine. The input shaft pulley decreases in diameter as the torque required to turn the drive wheels decreases. Benefits The RAPS eliminates shifting and automatically keeps the engine in the most efficient range for selected vehicle speed, load or terrain, making the vehicle easy to operate. EFTA00793239
