CONTROLS
Automatic Transmission Gear Selector
The transmission gear selector (1) is located on the right side of the
vehicle. Shift patterns vary, depending on your model.
H: High Gear
L: Low Gear
N: Neutral
R: Reverse
P: Park
To shift into HIGH or PARK, you must first apply the auxiliary brake
to activate the high/park lock-out mechanism. When shifting out of
HIGH or PARK, it’s not necessary to apply the brake.
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 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. Apply the auxiliary brake if
shifting into HIGH or PARK.
