Shifting Gears
1. Rotate the twist grip of the gear select lever to the next desired
gear. The transmission has four (4) forward gears and three (3)
reverse gears.
2. Use first gear for highest torque and pulling power. Use higher
gears for higher ground speed. The recommendations listed in the
table that follows are guidelines only. Always use good judgement
when traveling with a load.
Recommended Gear/Speed for Various Load/Travel Conditions
*NEVER travel in 4th gear when carrying a load.
NOTE: Shifting to the next higher gear may be done while the vehicle is in
motion.
IMPORTANT! When downshifting, allow the engine speed to slow down
before shifting to the next lower gear.
Stopping Travel
1. Apply the service brake pedal and downshift the vehicle to a lower
gear if necessary to slow the vehicle until it comes to a complete
stop.
2. Move the travel select lever to (N) NEUTRAL and engage the park-
ing brake switch. For longer stops, place the neutral lock lever to
NEUTRAL LOCK position and engage the parking brake switch.
