Transmission Gear Selector Operation

The transmission gear
selector is located on the
right side of the vehicle
directly above and forward
of the engine recoil starter.
The transmission selector
lever has four positions:
high forward; reverse;
neutral; and low forward.
Use of low forward gear is
recommended in heavy
pulling situations to extend
belt life.
To change gears, stop the
vehicle and with the engine
idling, move the lever to the desired gear. Do not attempt to shift gears
with engine speed above idle or while the vehicle is moving.
Always place the transmission in gear with the parking brake locked
whenever the vehicle is left unattended.
Maintaining shift linkage adjustment is important to assure proper
transmission function. Should you experience any shifting problem
see your dealer.
1. Do not attempt to shift the transmission while the vehicle is mov-
ing or while operating on hilly terrain.
2. Always place the transmission in gear with the parking brake ap-
plied whenever the vehicle is left unattended.
