INSTALLATION MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Your new Torq-Masters “Aussie Locker®” will provide you with the maximum in advanced traction per-
formance available. The Aussie Locker is an Automatic Precision Locking D fferential—it does not require a
switch or external electr c or air control lines to activate nor does it contain frictio clutch packs. When-
ever terrain onditions would normally cause wheel spin to occur, the Auss e Locker automatically trans-
fers up to 100% of the available torque to the wheel with the most traction The result is a dramatic
increase in the performance capabil ties of your vehicle. This is why the Aussie Locker is called the
“Traction To Go Anywhere” advanced traction enhancement system. A 4WD vehicle fitted with one
Aussie Locker will, in general terms, have more than twice its original off-road capability. A 4WD vehicle
with lockers in both front and rear differentials will hav truly amazing traction, enabling it to travel over
seemingly impossible terrain with less effort that ever before
Installation of your new locker is accomplished by removing the differential gears from the differential
case and installing the Aussie Locker omponents in their pla e. This typ of installat on can be made by
the weekend mechanic who is familiar with the operation of a differential and who is able to exercise
appropriate care during the installation process. Normal installation takes about two to three hours when
these instructions are followed. They also assume that the installer has a shop manual covering his
vehicle and that he s familiar with th procedures used in removing wheels, axle shafts, etc Short uts
should not be attempted unless the installer is very familiar with the shop manual procedures for his
vehicle.
Great care has been taken in developing these instructions for the proper installation of the Aussie
Locker; however, the final results are the resp nsibility of the installer. After the l cker is ins alled, the
safe operation of the vehicle is the responsibility of the driver—anyone who drives it should read the
Operator’s Guide for additional information on how to safely operate your new locker-equipped vehicle.
We suggest that you read these instructions before beginning your installation to familiarize yourself with
the steps performed for your particular axle type and to determine what tools you might need
