Using high gear for heavy loads, hilly terrain or in wet, muddy conditions will increase the chance of drive belt burning. See the Drive Belt Wear/Burn section on page 95. To shift gears, brake to a complete stop. When the engine is idling, move the lever to the desired gear. H: High Gear L: Low Gear N: Neutral R: Reverse P: Park NOTICE: Shifting gears with the engine speed above idle or while the vehicle is moving could cause transmission damage. Always shift when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is at idle. Tip: Maintaining shift linkage adjustment is important to assure proper transmission function. See your dealer if you experience any shifting problems. Using Low Range Always shift into low gear for any of the following conditions. • Operating in rough terrain or over obstacles • Loading the vehicle onto a trailer • Towing heavy loads • Driving frequently at low RPM or at ground speeds below 7 MPH (11 km/h) 22
