Automatic Transmission Gear Selector
The transmission gear selector (1)
is located on the right side of the
vehicle. Shift patterns vary,
depending on your model.
H: High Gear
N: Neutral
L: Low Gear
R: Reverse
P: Park
Whenever the ATV is left unattended, always place the transmission in
gear with the parking brake locked.
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.
