2011 MULE 4010 DIESEL 4X4
The Mule 4011 Diesel 4x4 is Kawasaki‘s Leading Utility Vehicle, and is the perfect four wheel drive utility vehicle for the farm, factory or work site. The 953cm³ diesel engine provides excellent economy and performance, matched to a rugged chassis, which can tow 545 kg and carry 499 kg in the cargo bed.
Key Features:
* Electric Power Steering System * Cab frame structure meets 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. * Diesel Performance and Economy in the Leading Utility Vehicle * Fully Automatic Transmission With Selectable 2- or 4-Wheel Drive * 499 kg Cargo Bed and 545 kg Towing Capacity
Liquid-Cooled, 3-Cylinder, Diesel Engine
• Exhaust pipe routing allows easy hydraulic lift kit installation.
• Overhead valve design maximizes efciency.
• Cast iron block and head ensure extreme durability.
• Massive torque at low rpm: 52 N-m @ 2,800 rpm.
Meets Emissions Standards
• Positive crankcase ventilation system sends blow-by gasses to the intake tract to be burned in the engine.
Cyclone-Type Engine Air Cleaner
• Donaldson® air cleaner has a replaceable paper element.
Cab Frame Air Intake
• Draws engine air and converter cooling air from the top of the cab frame where there’s less dust, so the air lters last longer.
Heavy-Duty Battery and Alternator
• 52 amp-hour battery ensures positive starts while the high-output, 40 amp alternator keeps the battery charged.
Kawasaki Automatic Power Drive System (KAPS)
• Easy-to-drive system handles similar to a car.
• Continuously variable transmission (CVT) is fully automatic.
• Keeps engine speed in most efcient range for any selected vehicle speed, load, or terrain.
• Large drive and driven torque converters maximize belt engagement area to improve heat dissipation and add durability.
• Drive belt is thick and strong.
• High-ow cover helps cool the CVT while providing superb splash protection and water proong.
• Sheaves with high silicon type material for increased durability.
Torque Converter Air Filter
• Efcient intake cooling fan draws plenty of air into the CVT.
• Cyclone design is effective and needs less frequent cleaning even in extremely dusty conditions.
• Special air cleaner with easily replaceable lter element cuts torque converter wear by cooling it with ltered air.

Dual-Mode Differential
• Strong bevel gear set and rear axle for increased durability.
• Locked mode for maximum traction, unlocked mode to minimize ground disturbance.
Limited-Slip Front Differential
Allows great traction with low steering effort.
Four-Wheel Drive with Two-Speed Transfer Case
• Shift to four-wheel drive and low range for maximum traction under adverse conditions.
• Shift to two-wheel drive and high range to cut running gear wear and increase fuel economy.
High Grade Electric Power Steering
• 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, so at slow speeds or when stopped assistance is greatest, then reduced as vehicle speed increases for superior handling.
4-Wheel, Self-Adjusting, Sealed Hydraulic Drum Brakes
• Reliable, long-wearing, and powerful.
Pickup Truck Styling
• Hood, fenders, front guard, lights, cab frame and cargo bed have pick-up truck styling for sharp ap­pearance.
• Dashboard comes with standard speedometer and oil pressure warning light.
Tilting Cargo Bed
• Thick tailgate panel reduces vibration and noise, adds durability.
• Tailgate locking pins reduce vibration and noise, providing a secure latch.
• Adjustable bed latches.
Rugged Bodywork
• Made of tough thermoplastic olen (TPO) that has a high gloss nish for great looks yet is more scratch resistant than polyethylene plastic, so it stays looking good longer.
• The electric motor’s inertia signicantly reduces bump steer and kickback to the steering wheel caused by shocks to the wheels for a more comfortable and con­trolled ride.
• Since it is electric, the system works as soon as the engine is running. There’s no time lag sometimes encountered with hydraulic systems that require oil to be pumped into the system.
• Since there is no power steering hydraulic pump, there is no power loss from the engine.
Independent Strut-Type Front Suspension
• Comfortable ride and excellent load-carrying.
DeDion Rear Suspension
• Overload-style leaf springs allow a good unladen ride and is durable under maximum loads.
• Semi-independent action.
• Front hood design helps provide a deep storage area.
Simple Maintenance
• Crankcase oil level dipstick under the seat.
• Automotive-type, spin-on oil lter.
• Coolant, battery electrolyte level sight gauges.
Convenient Dashboard
• Meters, gauges and buttons are easy to see and use.
• Dual glove boxes and dual cupholders for both the driver and passenger.
• Steering wheel angle designed for added comfort and ease of movement in and out of the vehicle.

Simple Controls
• A horn and 12V DC outlet with 10 amps capacity.
• The 2WD / 4WD lever is mounted on the dash for easy access.
• Parking brake and coolant temperature warning lights are easy to see.
• Shift lever with Y-gate pattern eliminates need for seperate Hi-Lo switch lever.
• Rear differential locking lever.
