GENERAL INFORMATION 57 Shift Lever This vehicle is equipped with a sub-transmission and a reverse gear. The shift lever is located at the right side of the engine and it has four positions: "H" (High), "L" (Low), "N" (Neutral), and "R" (Reverse). To shift into high range, stop the vehicle completely, and move the shift lever into the "H" (High) position. j NOTICE Use of the high range for heavy loads, climbing hills, pulling a trailer, and sustained low -speed riding can lead to premature wear of the torque converter belt and pulleys. Use the low range for these conditions. Low Gear: Low gearing gives maximum torque at low speeds for climbing hills, pulling a trailer, or keeping constant low speeds for agricultural use. To shift into low range, first stop the vehicle completely and shift the shift lever into the "L" (Low) position. NOTICE A. Shift Lever B. "L" (Low) position C. "H" (High) position D. "N" (Neutral) position E. "R" (Reverse) position Shifting to high or low range when the vehicle is in motion could cause engine damage. Reverse Gear: To shift into reverse, stop the vehicle completely, allow the engine to slow to idle speed, and move the shift lever to the "R" (Reverse) position. High Gear: High gearing raises the speed range for ordinary off-road use.

Shift Lever
This vehicle is equipped with a sub-transmission
and a reverse gear. The shift lever is located at the
right side of the engine and it has four positions: “H”
(High), “L” (Low), “N” (Neutral), and “R” (Reverse).
A. Shift Lever
B. "L" (Low) position
C. "H" (High) position
D. "N" (Neutral) position
E. "R" (Reverse) position
High Gear:
High gearing raises the speed range for ordinary
off-road use.
To shift into high range, stop the vehicle com-
pletely, and move the shift lever into the “H” (High)
position.
NOTICE
Use of the high range for heavy loads, climb-
ing hills, pulling a trailer, and sustained low
-speed riding can lead to premature wear of
the torque converter belt and pulleys.
Use
the low range for these conditions.
Low Gear:
Low gearing gives maximum torque at low speeds
for climbing hills, pulling a trailer, or keeping constant
low speeds for agricultural use.
To shift into low range, first stop the vehicle com-
pletely and shift the shift lever into the “L” (Low) po-
sition.
NOTICE
Shifting to high or low range when the vehi-
cle is in motion could cause engine damage.
Reverse Gear:
To shift into reverse, stop the vehicle completely,
allow the engine to slow to idle speed, and move the
shift lever to the “R” (Reverse) position.
