FEATURES AND CONTROLS
GEAR SELECTOR
Low gear is the primary driving range for your vehicle. High gear is intended for
use on hard-packed surfaces with light loads. Using high gear for heavy loads,
hilly terrain or in wet, muddy conditions will increase the chance of drive belt
burning. See the Drive Belt Wear/Burn section on page 131.
To shift gears, brake to a complete stop.
When the engine is idling, move the
q
lever
to the desired gear.
H: High Gear
L: Low Gear
N: Neutral
R: Reverse
P: Park
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.
TIP
Maintaining shift linkage adjustment is important to assure proper transmission
function. Your POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person, can assist in
resolving any shifting problems.

• Operating in rough terrain or over obstacles
• Loading the vehicle onto a trailer
