Gear Selector

R: Reverse
P: Park
Low gear is the primary driving range for the RANGER. High gear is intended for use on
hard-packed surfaces with light loads. Whenever the vehicle is left unattended, always place
the transmission in PARK.
To change gears, stop the vehicle, and with the engine idling, move the lever to the desired
gear. Do not attempt to shift gears with engine speed above idle or while the vehicle is
moving.
Tip: Maintaining shift linkage adjustment is important to assure proper transmission function. Your
POLARIS dealer can assist in resolving any shifting problems.
NOTICE: Shifting gears with the engine speed above idle or while the vehicle is moving could cause
transmission damage. Always shift when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is at idle.
Using Low Range
Always shift into low gear for any of the following conditions.
• Operating in rough terrain or over obstacles
• Loading the vehicle onto a trailer
• Towing heavy loads
