SAFETY WARNING AND OPERATION DECALS Models Equipped With Reverse Only (Text Below) NOTE: Illustration of shift pattern may vary. Your model may differ. VEHICLE CAPABLE OF EXCESSIVE REVERSE SPEED! Reverse operation can be dangerous even at low speeds. Steering control becomes difficult in reverse. Misuse of reverse can result in injury. Avoid turning at sharp angles in reverse. Transmission may not always be in the gear indicated by the shift lever. Always apply throttle slowly. On machines with reverse it is especially important to maintain track tension as specified in the owner's manual. If specified track tension is not maintained severe damage to the machine may occur, which can result in loss of vehicle control. Loss of vehicle control can result in severe personal injury or death. For More Info: See Operator's Safety and Maintenance Manual supplied with reverse kit. SHIFT PATTERN Make sure lever is shifted completely to forward or reverse position. Do not force into reverse. If not able to shift to reverse, apply throttle gently to move vehicle. CAUTION: Do not attempt to shift until machine has come to a complete stop or chaincase damage may occur. 8
