Automatic Transmission Gear Selector
The transmission gear selector is located on the right
side of the vehicle directly above and forward of the
engine. It has five positions: high (H), low (L),
neutral ( N), reverse (R) and park (P).
To shift into high or park, yo u must first depress the
auxiliary brake to activate the high/park lock-out
mechan ism.
When shifting out of high or park, it’s not necessary
to depress the brake.
Whenever the ATV is left unattended, always place the transmission in
park and lock the parking brake.
Maintaining shift linkage adjustment is important to assure proper
transmission function. See your dealer if you experience any shifting
problems.
