Taking Care of the Unexpected
How to Shift Gears Manually:
Do not attempt to shift gears manually using the gear change tool while
driving.
If the transmission is shifted manually when the electric shift system is
functioning, the system will shutdown automatically and the shift
switches will not operate. To reactivate the system, turn the ignition
switch to the ‘‘OFF’’ (
) position, then turn it back to the ‘‘ON’’
( ) position.
With the ATV unoccupied, align the hexagonal hole of the gear
change tool with the hexagonal end of the secondary spindle which is
located on the front crankcase.
To downshift, turn the gear change tool counterclockwise ( ).
To upshift, turn the tool clockwise ( ).
If the transmission does not shift, rock the vehicle back and forth and
try again.
Return the gear change tool to underside of the seat.
