FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Automatic Transmission Gear Selector
The transmission gear selector is
located on the right side of the
vehicle.
H: High Gear
L: Low Gear
N: Neutral
R: Reverse
P: Park
To shift gears, brake to a com-
plete stop. When the engine is
idling, move the lever to the
desired gear.
NOTICE: Shifting gears with the engine speed above idle or while the vehicle is
moving could cause transmission damage.
Whenever the ATV is left unattended, always place the transmission in
PARK and lock the parking brake.
Belt Life
To extend belt life, use low forward gear when pulling a heavy load at
less than seven miles per hour for extended periods and when operating
uphill at a slow speed.
Fuel Tank Cap
Always refuel with the engine
stopped, and outdoors or in a well
ventilated area. Refuel on a level
surface.
Remove the fuel tank cap to add fuel
to the fuel tank. Use either leaded or
unleaded gasoline with a minimum
pump octane number of 87=(R+ M/
2) octane. Do not use fuel with etha-
nol content greater than 10 percent,
such as E-85 fuel.
