54 GENERAL INFORMATION To shift into high range, stop the vehicle completely, and move the shift lever into the "H" (High) position. j WARNING HAZARD Shifting into "H" (High) or "L" (Low) or "R" (Reverse) while moving. WHAT CAN HAPPEN Shifting the transmission while the vehicle is moving can cause abrupt changes in speed and direction resulting in loss of control and accident with severe personal injury or death. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Do not shift the transmission while the vehicle is moving. Stop the vehicle to shift the transmission. 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 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.
