Automatic Transmission Gear Selector
Shift patterns depend on the type of
vehicle you own. Please check
your Owner's Manual Supplement
to define your machine's shift
pattern.
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
three or four positions: high
forward; reverse; neutral; and low
forward or forward; reverse; and
neutral. Check your Owner's
Manual Supplement for
specification.
NOTE: To extend belt life, use
low forward gear in heavy pulling
situations and in situations where
you are operating below 7 miles
per hour for extended periods of
time.
To change gears, stop the vehicle and with the engine idling,
move the lever to the desired gear. Shifting gears with the engine
speed above idle or while the vehicle is moving could cause
transmission damage.
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.
