Transmission Shift Lever
The Transmission Shift Lever (9) (Figure 3-2) is located on
the right side of the steering column. The control lever

Positioning the lever up actuates forward and positioning the
lever down actuates reverse. When the lever is in neutral, it
rests in a detent. To move the lever up or down, pull up on
the lever first. The transmission can only be shifted into
Forward or Reverse when the brake pedal is pressed. To
shift the transmission to first, second, or third gear, rotate the
knob to 1, 2, or 3.
The transmission has six forward gears and six reverse
gears. To use the three low gears, put the Drive Axle switch
to four-wheel drive. To use the three high gears, put the Drive
Axle switch to two-wheel drive.
