SECOND
(2):
This position gives you more power.
You
can use
SECOND

speed as you
go
down steep mountain roads, but then

FIRST

This position gives you even more power
than
SECOND
(2).
You
can use it on very steep hills,
or
in
deep snow or mud. (If the shift lever is put in
FIRST
(l),
the transaxle won’t shift into gear until the
vehicle is going slowly enough.)
NOTICE:
If
your front wheels can’t rotate, don’t
try
to
drive. This might happen
if
you were stuck
in
very deep sand or mud or were~up against a solid
object. You could damage your transaxle.
Also,
if
you
stop
when going uphill, don’t hold
your vehicle there with
only
the accelerator
pedal. This could cause overheating and damage
the transaxle. Use your brakes to hold your
vehicle in position on a hill.
