Low gear is the primary driving range for the RANGER. High gear is intended for use on
hard-packed surfaces with light loads.
To shift gears, brake to a complete stop. When the engine is idling, move the lever to the
desired gear.
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 can assist in resolving any shifting problems.
Using Low Range
Always shift into low gear for any of the following conditions.
• Operating in rough terrain or over obstacles
• Loading the vehicle onto a trailer
• Towing heavy loads
