AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR OPERATION
The transmission gear selector is located at the right
side of the steering wheel. The transmission selector
lever has five positions: parking; reverse; neutral; high
forward; and low forward
NOTE : To extend belt life, use low forward gear in heavy
pulling situations and in situations where you are
operating below 11km/h for extended periods of time.
CAUTION
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.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Shifting a low gear when the engine rpm are too high.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The wheels could stop rotating. This could cause loss of control, an accident
and injury. It could also cause engine or drive train damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Make sure the engine has sufficiently slowed before shifting to a lower gear.
