GEAR SHIFTER
The gear shifter has five positions. The positions from top to bottom are:
• H – high
• L – low
• N – neutral
• R – reverse
• P – park
High range is the primary driving gear. High gear is intended for use on hard-packed sur-
faces with light loads.
To change gears, stop the vehicle and move the lever to the desired gear. Do not try to
shift gears with engine speed above idle or while the vehicle is moving.
When the vehicle is not in operation or is left unattended, put the transmission in P (park).
NOTICE: Maintaining the shift linkage adjustment is important for proper transmis-
sion function. See an authorized BAD BOY OFF ROAD dealer if you expe-
rience any shifting problems.
Shifting gears with the engine speed above idle or while the vehicle is moving could cause trans-
mission damage. Always shift when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is at idle.
Using Low Range
Use low range gear in the following conditions:
• operating in rough terrain or over obstacles
• loading the STAMPEDE 900 onto a trailer
• towing a trailer or hauling a heavy load
SEAT BELTS
The STAMPEDE 900 has a three-point seat belt on each seat. Make sure the seat belts for all occupants are fastened
before operating the vehicle. The speed of the vehicle is limited to 15 mph (24 kph) or less when the driver's seat belt
is not fastened.
Falling from a moving vehicle could cause serious injury
or death. All occupants must fasten their seat belts prior to
vehicle operation.
Use the following procedure to make sure all seat belts are correctly fastened:
1.
Pull the seat belt latch down and across the chest toward the buckle on the inner
edge of the seat.
• Make sure the belt fits snug across the hips and diagonal across the chest.
• Make sure the belt is not twisted.
2.
Push the latch into the buckle until it clicks.
3.
Release the strap. It will self-tighten.
4.
To release the seat belt, press the release button on the buckle.
Seat Belt Inspection
Inspect all seat belts for proper operation before each use.
1.
Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. The latch plate must slide
smoothly into the buckle. A click indicates that it is latched.
2.
Press the release button in the buckle to make sure it releases freely.
3.
Pull each seat belt completely out and inspect the full length for damage. If damage is found, or if the seat belt
does not operate correctly, have the seat belt system inspected by an authorized BAD BOY OFF ROAD dealer.
4.
To clean dirt from the seat belts:
• Use a sponge, mild soap and water.
• Do not use bleach or household detergents.
• Rinse the full length of the belt with water.
• Use a garden hose to flush out the retractor and buckles regularly.
• Leave the wet seat belt pulled out of the retractor until it is dry.
