Automatic Transmission Gear Selector
The transmission gear selector is located
on0 the right side of the vehicle directly
above and forward of the engine and has
five positions: high, low, neutral; reverse,
and park.
To shift into “High” or “Park”, you
must first depress the foot brake to
activate the High/Park lock out
mechanism.
When shifting out of “High” or “Park”, it is
not necessary to depress the brake.
NOTE: To extend belt life, use low
forward gear in heavy pulling situations
and in situations where you are operating
below 7 miles per hour for extended
periods of time.
Always place the transmission in park with the parking brake locked
whenever the vehicle is left unattended.

damage.
