Shifting the Transmission

Let engine idle to warm up.
Apply brakes and select the desired gear
range H or L.
NOTE: The brake must be applied when the
transmission lever is engaged in the park po-
sition.
Release brakes.
CAUTION: Make sure parking brake is fully
disengaged before operating the ATV.
Gradually press the throttle lever to increase
engine speed and thus engaging the continu-
ously variable transmission (CVT).
At the opposite, when the throttle lever is re-
leased, the engine speed decreases.
Using the Reverse
CAUTION: When changing from forward to
reverse, or vice-versa, always completely
stop the vehicle and apply the brake prior to
moving the transmission lever.
The same procedures as SHIFTING THE
TRANSMISSION above apply except for the
following.
Set the transmission lever in REVERSE posi-
tion.
