Coolant system leaks
If your coolant system is consistently low on
coolant there in most likely a leak in the
system. Start the unit and allow it to run until
it has reached it operating temperature. Check
the coolant system radiator and hoses for leaks
and repair or replace as needed. Inspect
cooling system hose at the beginning of each
season for signs of deterioration such as cracking
of checking of the hose surface. Replace cooling
system hoses at least every 3 years.
Transmission
Shifting gears
The Vector 250 is equipped with a fully
automatic C.V.T. transmission and has a forward
and reverse gearing system. The transmission
shift lever is located of your unit just below and
ahead to the seat. The shifter has a three position
notched locator plate indicating transmission gear
selections of “F”, “N” and “R”
“F” = Forward
“N” = Neutral
“R” = Reverse
The position of the transmission gears is also
indicated on the digital console directly below
the digital readout display. It contains the same
three indicators of “F”, “N”, and “R”.
To start your engine, both the shift selector lever
and the shift indicator lamp on the console must
be in the “N”, neutral, position.
To shift from one gear to another, bring the unit
to a complete stop and while applying either the
rear or front brake slowly move the shift selector
lever to the desired gear pausing slightly in the
neutral position to allow for the transmission
gears to synchronize. One the shift is completed
