Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines the functionality of the Auto-Lok® system, a proprietary technology by The Hilliard Corporation, designed to manage power distribution in walk-behind equipment and vehicles with four-wheel drive (4WD) systems. The document emphasizes the conditions under which power is distributed to the wheels, particularly during turns and when traction is lost.
Specifications: The Auto-Lok® system ensures that power is effectively distributed to the wheels based on traction conditions. In a straight path, both wheels are locked to the transmission, providing full traction. During turns, the inside wheel remains the drive wheel, and if it loses traction, the outside wheel locks to maintain power to the ground.
Procedures: The document describes scenarios such as turning with and without traction loss. When the inside wheel loses traction, the system automatically locks the outside wheel to ensure continuous power delivery. This mechanism is crucial for maintaining control and efficiency in various operational conditions.
Norms and Recommendations: The document advises operators to be aware of the system's automatic adjustments during different driving conditions. It highlights the importance of understanding how the Auto-Lok® system responds to traction changes to optimize equipment performance.
Key Data and Figures: The document includes figures illustrating the system's response to traction changes. For instance, when the inside tire regains traction during a turn, the system reverts to its standard operation mode, as depicted in the figures.
Critical Information: The Auto-Lok® system is designed to enhance traction and control, particularly in challenging conditions where traction loss is possible. It automatically adjusts power distribution to maintain optimal performance and safety.

Auto Locking Front Drive System (Differential)FOR ON-DEMAND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE Basic Operation The Hilliard Front Drive System is an electro-mechanically activated bidirectional overrunning clutch. When 12 volts of power are sent via the 4WD switch, the unit is activated to engage both front wheels instantaneously, whenever the rear wheels lose traction. The clutch also releases or overruns automatically the instant the rear wheels regain traction. Because torque is transmitted to both front wheels, it is a "true" 4WD.The overrunning characteristics of this system allow for an on-demand 4WD engagement...
