Active Riding Shifting The ATV has a dual-range automatic transmission with reverse. To shift the ATV, follow these steps: 1. To engage the high range from neutral, apply the brakes and move the shift lever forward. 2. To engage the low range from high range, apply the brakes and move the shift lever out ward and forward. ACTIVE RIDING n Note: The high range is for normal riding with light loads. The low range is for carrying heavy loads or trailer towing. Compared to HIGH range, the LOW range position provides slower speed and greater torque to the wheels. !
CAUTION Always shift into low range when operating on wet or uneven ter- rain, when towing or pushing heavy loads, and when using a plow. Failure to follow this caution may result in premature V-belt failure or in damage to related drive system components. 3. To engage reverse gear from neutral, move the shift lever outward and rearward into the R position. ! CAUTION Always come to a complete stop before attempting to shift from one gear to the other. Always shift on level ground, or engage the brake lever lock before shifting into forward gear or into reverse. ! WARNING Do not start the engine or operate this ATV with the V-belt cover removed. Severe injury could result. 35
