GEARSHIFT LEVER
This vehicle has a 5-speed transmis-
sion which operates as shown in the
illustration. The shift lever is attached
to a ratchet type mechanism in the
transmission. Each time you select a
gear, the gearshift lever will return to
its normal position ready to select the
next gear. Engage first gear by pulling
the clutch lever in then depressing the
lever from the neutral position. You
can shift into higher gears by lifting on
the shift lever once for each gear. The
ratchet mechanism makes it impossi-
ble to upshift or downshift more than
one gear at a time.
REVERSE SELECTION KNOB
This vehicle has a reverse gear. To
shift into reverse gear, completely
stop the vehicle and shift the trans-
mission into 1st gear while holding
the clutch lever in. Turn the reverse
selection knob clockwise and push
down the gearshift lever. Lift up the
gearshift lever to shift into 1st gear.
NOTE:
• Depress the rear brake pedal and
engage clutch partially if it is hard
to shift into reverse or return to 1st
gear.
• Check that the reverse indicator is
lit after shifting into reverse.
WARNING
Shifting into reverse gear when
the ATV is moving can be hazard-
ous.
If you shift the ATV into reverse
gear when the ATV is moving, it
could stop suddenly, throwing
you from the ATV.
Always come to a complete stop
and shift into neutral before shift-
ing into reverse gear.
