2012 Kawasaki Mule™ 4010 4x4

4-wheel drive with 2-speed Transfer Case

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

4-wheel, Self-adjusting Sealed Hydraulic Drum Brakes

• Low maintenance and powerful
• The brake drums have an added flange and seal to keep out mud and water
• 4-wheel brakes are self-adjusting and feature extra sealing for protection against mud, dust, and debris

Cab Features

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

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

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

Dual Mode Differential

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

Electric Power Steering (EPS)

• The EPS system reduces steering effort, especially at low speeds when turning effort is greatest
• EPS only operates when the engine is running to keep from draining the battery
• Input from vehicle speed and torque sensors determine the amount of steering assistance required from the system’s motor
• 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
• No power steering pump, so there is no power loss from the engine

Environmentally Friendly Emissions

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

Front Hood with Storage Tub

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

Independent Strut-type Front Suspension

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

Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System (KAPS)

• An open-sided drive pulley cools better for longer belt life
• The CVT has a wide spread of drive ratios for quick acceleration and ample pulling power
• Offers adjustable belt deflection
• Fully automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) features forward high / low and reverse, and helps keep the engine in the right operating rpm for a variety of vehicle speeds, loads or terrain

Key Features

Liquid-cooled V-twin Engine

• Rubber engine mounts minimize vibration, noise and wear to maximize operation comfort and diminish fatigue
• 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, industrial V-twin engine produces exceptional torque at low engine speeds

• Cyclone-type engine air cleaner has meter to indicate when to replace the filter

Tilting Cargo Bed

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

Wheels and Tires

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