The lock position is so that you can manually lock the hub, meaning it won't fall out of the locked position if you need to reverse down a steep hill. (disaster in the making!!)
It would be advisable to "lock" these automatic hubs whenever you are doing low range work. You can still shift into high range 2WD with them locked, cause no damage. When you hit the black stuff again, unlock them manually.
Hope this helps.

Hendo, thank you for your response. I assumed it must have done that, i was surprised that it could 'fall out', thats why i thought it may have had an extra function. It seems pretty scary thinking it could do this considering some of the low range hill climbs i've done without it locked over manually. I would have thought there would have been a warning or at least suggest that it be locked manually on the transfer instructions. Cheers.
