IMPORTANT: This is a supplement to your owner’s manual. This information should remain with your owner’s

manual at all times.

Starting the Engine

The engine can only be started with the transmission in neutral.
Turn the key to “on” and ensure the stop switch is in the run position.
The neutral indicator light should be on. If it is not, shift the foot pedal down ( or up and down, if in Reverse) to find

neutral. Refer to the gear shift pedal illustrated on this page.
Once the vehicle is in neutral, start the engine by engaging the start button.

Gear Shift Control

Gear Shift Pedal
The gear shift pedal is above the left floorboard. One full

stroke of the pedal shifts the transmission to the next higher

or lower gear in the shifting sequence.

The pedal

automatically returns to the horizontal position when released.
The Xpedition has five forward gears (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5). To

upshift to a higher gear, put the toe of your boot under the gear

shift pedal and raise the pedal one full stroke. To downshift,

step on the gear shift pedal and depress the pedal one full

stroke.

Shifting Gears
Start the engine and let it warm up, follow this procedure:
1. With the transmission in neutral, hold the brake lever.
2. With the throttle closed, raise the gear shift pedal one full

stroke to shift into first gear.

3. Release the brake lever and increase engine speed by

gradually opening the throttle.

4. When speed increases, release the throttle and shift to 2nd

gear by raising the gear shift pedal one full stroke.
