Starting the Engine
The engine can only be started with the transmission in neutral.
Turn the key to “on” and ensure the stop switch is in the run position.
The neutral indicator light should be on. If it is not, shift the foot pedal down ( or up and down, if in Reverse) to find
neutral. Refer to the gear shift pedal illustrated on this page.
Once the vehicle is in neutral, start the engine by engaging the start button.
Gear Shift Control
Gear Shift Pedal
The gear shift pedal is above the left floorboard. One full
stroke of the pedal shifts the transmission to the next higher
or lower gear in the shifting sequence. The pedal
automatically returns to the horizontal position when released.
The Xpedition has five forward gears (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5). To
upshift to a higher gear, put the toe of your boot under the gear
shift pedal and raise the pedal one full stroke. To downshift,
step on the gear shift pedal and depress the pedal one full
stroke.
Shifting Gears

1. With the transmission in neutral, hold the brake lever.
2. With the throttle closed, raise the gear shift pedal one full
stroke to shift into first gear.
3. Release the brake lever and increase engine speed by
gradually opening the throttle.

gear by raising the gear shift pedal one full stroke.
