Introduction
Selectable 4WD and a Powerful V-twin
Help Get Things Done
When the job calls for serious traction, the Mule™ 4010
4x4 answers with its sure-footed 4-wheel drive system. The Mule
4010 4x4 is loaded with great features to help you get to the
job site and get things done. Besides its convenient selectable
four-wheel drive system, the Mule 4010 4x4 also boasts a full-sized
chassis, reliable digital fuel injection, electric power steering
(EPS) system, fully automatic transmission, locking rear differential
and a tilting cargo bed. With all of its great attributes, you'll
wonder how you got things done before you had one.
The Mule 4010 4x4's liquid-cooled 617cc V-twin engine is managed
by a digital Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and is fed by a fuel
injection system that compensates for variations in atmospheric
pressure, engine and air temperature. This combination results
in consistent starts and ultra-precise fuel metering, both of
which help reduce fuel consumption and limit emissions. An automatic
fast idle speed control activates when the engine is cold, eliminating
the need for a manual choke. The ECU also regulates top engine
speed, which means the Mule doesn't need a mechanical governor.
This powerful V-twin engine is mated to a continuously variable
transmission (CVT) that features both high and low range, plus
a reverse gear. Power is transmitted through a dependable, low-maintenance
shaft drive system to a dual-mode rear differential that can
be locked to maximize traction, or unlocked to improve handling
and minimize ground disturbance when negotiating tight turns.
Mule 4010 drivers can also engage four-wheel drive for extra
traction in tricky conditions.
The Mule 4010 4x4's rack-and-pinion steering is assisted by an
electric power steering (EPS) system that can reduce turning
effort by up to 30 percent while offering a significant boost
at low speeds in four-wheel drive. The EPS system automatically
determines how much assistance is needed using input from vehicle
speed and torque sensors.
The forward/reverse, high/low-range and the four-wheel drive
selectors are all within easy reach on the dash so drivers can
focus more attention on negotiating rough or tricky terrain.
The coolant temperature warning light is easy to see, and a push-button
control activates the headlights. Other standard features include
an hour meter, horn and air restrictor gauge to indicate when
the air filter needs to be cleaned or replaced. The fuse box
and oil dipstick are located beneath the seat for quick access.
A roomy cab is surrounded by the Mule 4010 4x4's large-diameter
steel tube frame structure. With its rugged and modern bodywork,
this four-wheel drive utility is a natural in the tough pickup
truck work environment. Its body panels are manufactured from
a durable, color-molded plastic that helps hide minor scuffs
and scratches. The front hood can be opened with the pull of
a dash-mounted knob and allows access to a deep storage space
equipped with convenient D-rings to help secure cargo. Additionally,
two levers make opening and closing the tailgate a secure and
easy process.
The convenience factor on the Mule 4010 4x4 extends beyond easy-access
latches or controls; the machine also features owner-friendly
touches like the winch-ready tabs located under the front grille,
which greatly simplify the winch-mounting process.
The Mule 4010 4x4 chassis includes a ladder-type frame riding
on a DeDion-type rear leaf-spring suspension designed to carry
heavy loads yet provide a smooth ride when the cargo bed is empty.
MacPherson struts handle front suspension duty and provide an
optimum balance of comfort and load capacity. Effective stopping
power is provided by four hydraulically operated, self-adjusting,
sealed drum brakes designed to resist contamination from water,
mud and other debris. Large 23-inch low-pressure tires provide
a comfortable ride, superb traction and help minimize impact
over a variety of terrain.
The Mule 4010 4x4 can carry 800 pounds in its steel cargo bed
and is capable of towing up to 1,200 pounds with an optional
draw bar. Other popular accessories include an enclosed cab,
cab heater, snow plow and soft or hard tops. These and many other
Authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available through Arizona
Kawasaki.
