2011 Kawasaki Mule™ 4010 Trans4x4®

4WD with 2-speed Transfer Case

• Shift to 4WD and low range for maximum traction in adverse conditions, or select 2WD and high range to cut gear wear and increase fuel economy
• Selectable 4WD gives the operator traction options

4-wheel, Self-adjusting Sealed Hydraulic Drum Brakes

• Brake drums have an added flange and seal to resist mud and water
• Powerful, low maintenance 4-wheel brakes are self-adjusting and feature extra sealing for protection against mud, dust and debris

Cab Features

• Shift lever with Y-gate pattern eliminates need for High-Low switch lever
• Hour meter and a horn are standard equipment
• Parking brake and coolant temperature warning lights are easy to see
• The 2WD / 4WD lever is mounted on the dash for easy access
• Dashboard has dual glove boxes and cup holders for both the driver and passenger
• 12V DC outlet with 10A capacity
• Push-button headlight switch activates 35W cat-eye headlights

Cab Frame Air Intake

• Draws engine air and converter cooling air from the top of the cab frame where there is less dust, so the air filter stays cleaner longer

DeDion Rear Suspension

• Overload-style leaf springs can handle heavy loads, yet provide a smooth ride when the cargo box is empty
• Semi-independent action

Digital Fuel Injection

• Automatic digital ignition system helps ensure smooth, efficient operation
• Computer-controlled fuel injection system automatically compensates for atmospheric pressure, air and engine temperature for easy, prompt engine starting under a variety of conditions
• Maximum engine speed is controlled by the ECU, eliminating the need for a mechanical governor
• Automatic fast idle speed control eliminates the need for a choke, allowing the operator to drive off immediately after a cold engine start
• Throttle bodies feature sub-throttle valves for optimum performance and drivability; the sub-throttles are located behind the main throttle valves and controlled by the ECU for smooth throttle response
• Offers easy engine operation and reduced maintenance requirements

Dual-mode Differential

• Dual-mode rear differential can be locked for extra pulling power and maximum traction, or unlocked when traveling across delicate terrain

Electric Power Steering (EPS)

• The electric motor’s inertia significantly reduces bump steer and kickback to the steering wheel caused by shocks to the wheels for a more comfortable and controlled ride
• EPS only operates when the engine is running to keep from draining the battery
• No power steering pump means no power loss from the engine
• Input from vehicle speed and torque sensors determine the amount of steering assistance required from the system’s motor
• The EPS system reduces steering effort, especially at low speeds when turning effort is greatest

Environmentally Friendly Emissions

• DFI® precision reduces fuel consumption and cuts exhaust emissions
• Muffler features a U.S. Forest Service-approved spark arrestor
• Positive crankcase ventilation system sends blow-by gases to the intake tract to be burned in the engine

Front Hood with Storage Tub

• Includes 4 D-rings for securing loads
• Large under hood storage tub holds cargo out of sight
• Offers quick, easy access with a push-button latch

Independent Strut-type Front Suspension

• Stiffer springs prevent bottoming and increase ground clearance
• MacPherson strut long-travel front suspension provide a comfortable ride and excellent load-carrying capability

Kawasaki Automatic Power-drive System (KAPS)

• High-flow cover helps cool the CVT while providing superb splash protection and waterproofing
• An open-sided drive pulley offers better cooling for longer belt life
• Offers adjustable belt deflection
• Large drive and driven torque converters maximize engagement area of the thick and strong drive belt for improved heat dissipation and added durability
• Fully automatic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) features forward high and low and reverse, which helps keep the engine in the right operating rpm for a variety of vehicle speeds, loads or terrain
• The CVT has a wide spread of drive ratios for quick acceleration and ample pulling power
• Sheaves with high silicon type material for increased durability
• Tuned to accommodate higher loads

Liquid-cooled, V-twin Engine

• Modern 4-stroke design with overhead valves for efficient running and good fuel economy
• Large capacity radiator and fan maintain consistent engine temperatures, even in hot climates
• 4-stroke, 617 cc V-twin industrial engine produces exceptional torque at low engine speeds
• Rubber engine mounts minimize vibration, noise and wear to maximize operation comfort and diminish fatigue

Rugged and Capable

• Meets Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) requirements for wheeled tractors under SAE J1194, 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 7.4, and 7.5, and also meets FMVSS 216 roof crush resistance requirement
• Durable chassis includes winch-ready mounts to simplify winch installation
• Bodywork is a rugged, modern design with truck-like styling
• Bench seat can carry up to 3
• Can tow up to 1,200 lbs. with optional Kawasaki draw bar

Simple Maintenance

• Cyclone-type engine air cleaner has meter to indicate when to replace the filter
• An automotive-style fuse box is convenient and uses blade-type fuses
• The oil dipstick and filler tube are accessed under the seat

Tilting Cargo Bed

• Steel cargo bed can carry up to 800 lbs. and tilts for unloading
• Thick tailgate panel and secure latching tailgate locking pins reduce vibration and noise, and add durability

Torque Converter Air Filter

• Special air cleaner with easily replaceable filter element cuts torque converter wear by cooling it with filtered air
• Efficient intake cooling fan draws plenty of air into the CVT

Transformable Cargo Bed

• 2 rows of seats easily accommodate up to 4 people
• Transformable from a 4-passenger to a 2-passenger off-road utility vehicle with the rear seat folded down and the cargo bed expanded to carry larger payload – from 400 lbs. with 4 passengers to 800 lbs. with 2 passengers
• Rear bench seat includes retractable seat belts and padded rear-passenger grab handle

Wheels and Tires

• 23 in. tires with stiff sidewalls for an improved ride and added ground clearance
• Rear wheel bearings use 2 rollers in 1 large bearing for added durability
• Wheel bearings seals on all 4 wheels have 3 lips for better protection
