Automatic Transmission Gear Selector CONTROLS 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. 1 H L N R P CAUTION 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. 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. 43
