CONTROLS
Automatic Transmission Gear Selector
The transmission gear selector is located on the right
side of the vehicle directly above and forward of the
engine. It has five positions: high (H), low (L),
neutral (N), reverse (R) and park (P).
To shift into high or park, you must first depress the
auxiliary brake to activate the high/park lock-out
mechanism.
When shifting out of high or park, it’s not necessary
to depress the brake.
Whenever the ATV is left unattended, always place the transmission in
park and lock the parking brake.
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.

Shifting gears with the engine speed above idle or while the
vehicle is moving could cause transmission damage.
To change gears, stop the vehicle, and with the engine idling,
move the lever to the desired gear. Depress the auxiliary brake if
shifting into high or park.
