Shifting Gears
&WARNING
A
DO NOT shift through multiple gears
with a single turn of the gear select
lever. Allow the engine speed to slow
down before shifting to the next lower
gear. Improper use of the gear select
lever could cause transmission damage or vehi-
cle tip over/roll over and result in injury or death.
The transmission has four (4) gears that can be used
for traveling in forward or reverse.
To shift gears rotate the gear select lever to the next
gear while the vehicle is traveling.
• Use first gear (1) for highest torque and pulling
power.
• Use higher gears for higher ground speed.
• NEVER travel in fourth gear (4) when carrying a
load.
• Allow the engine speed to slow down before shift-
ing to a lower gear.
