CONTROLS AND FEATURES Controls Transmission Gear Selector Operation The transmission gear selector is located on the right side of the vehicle Shift Patterns directly above and forward of the engine recoil starter. The transmission selector lever has four positions: H L high forward; reverse; neutral; and low forward. N Use of low forward gear is recommended in heavy pulling situations to extend R belt life. To change gears, stop the vehicle and with the engine idling, move the lever to the desired gear. Do not attempt to shift gears with engine speed above idle or while the vehicle is moving. Always place the transmission in gear with the parking brake locked whenever the vehicle is left unattended. Maintaining shift linkage adjustment is important to assure proper transmission function. Should you experience any shifting problem see your dealer. WARNING 1. Do not attempt to shift the transmission while the vehicle is moving or while operating on hilly terrain. 2. Always place the transmission in gear with the parking brake applied whenever the vehicle is left unattended. 45
