CONTROLS Gear Selector Operation The transmission gear selector is located on the right side of the vehicle directly above and forward of the engine recoil starter. 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. See your dealer if you experience any shifting problems. H L N R CAUTION Shifting gears with the engine speed above idle or while the vehicle is moving could cause transmission damage. To change gears, stop the vehicle, and with the engine idling, move the lever to the desired gear. Depress the auxiliary brake if shifting into high or park. Belt Life To extend belt life, use low forward gear in heavy pulling situations and when operating at less than seven miles per hour for extended periods of time. 41
