46 GENERAL INFORMATION climbing hills, pulling a trailer, or keeping constant low speeds. The high gearing raises the speed range for ordinary off-highway use. Stop the vehicle before moving the Hi-Lo shift lever. j CAUTION Use of the high range for heavy loads, climbing hills, and pulling a trailer can lead to premature wear of the torque converter belt and pulleys. Use low range for these conditions. Refer to the "Hi-Lo Shifting" section in the "How to Operate" chapter. A. Gear Shift Lever B. "H" (High) Position C. "L" (Low) Position D.

A. Gear Shift Lever
B. “H” (High) Position
C. “L” (Low) Position
D. “N” (Neutral) Position
E. “R” (Reverse) Position
CAUTION
Do not shift from “H” (High) or “L” (Low)
to “R” (Reverse) and vice versa when the
vehicle is moving or with the engine run-
ning above idling speed, or the transmission
could be damaged.
This vehicle is equipped with a sub-transmission
to allow maximum transmission efficiency. Use the
low gearing for maximum torque at low speeds, for
climbing hills, pulling a trailer, or keeping constant
low speeds.
The high gearing raises the speed
range for ordinary off-highway use. Stop the vehicle
before moving the Hi-Lo shift lever.
CAUTION
Use of the high range for heavy loads, climb-
ing hills, and pulling a trailer can lead to pre-
mature wear of the torque converter belt and
pulleys. Use low range for these conditions.
Refer to the “Hi-Lo Shifting” section in the “How to
Operate” chapter.

2WD-4WD shift lever up or down while pulling the
stopper as indicated on the label next to the left of
the lever.
Refer to the “2WD-4WD Shifting” section in the
“How to Operate” chapter.
