Automatic Transmission Gear Selector The transmission gear selector (1) is located on the right side of the vehicle. H: High Gear L: Low Gear N: Neutral R: Reverse P: Park 1 H L N R P FEATURES AND CONTROLS To shift into HIGH or PARK, you must first apply the auxiliary brake to activate the high/park lock-out mechanism. When shifting out of HIGH or PARK, it's not necessary to apply the brake. 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. Apply the auxiliary brake before attempting to shift into high gear or park. CAUTION Whenever the ATV is left unattended, always place the transmission in park and lock the parking brake. Maintaining shift linkage adjustment is important to assure proper transmission function. See your dealer if you experience any shifting problems. 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. If towing the vehicle is necessary, shift the transmission into neutral for better mobility and to prevent damage to the belt. 45
