Taking Care of the Unexpected 221
Emergency Gear Selection &
Operation
How to Shift Gears Manually:
• With the ATV unoccupied, align the hexagonal hole of the gear
change tool (1) with the hexagonal end of the secondary spindle
which is located on the front crankcase next to the front propeller
shaft.
• To downshift, turn the gear change tool counterclockwise (A).
To upshift, turn the tool clockwise (B).
• If the alignment of the hexagonal hole does not allow sufficient
movement in the desired shifting direction, remove the tool, flip tool
over, and realign the hexagonal hole with the secondary spindle.
• If the transmission does not shift, rock the vehicle back and forth
and try again. And then if not shift again, the surface of the gear
change tool invert and turn the gear change tool.
• Return the gear change tool to under the rear fender cover.
Do not attempt to shift gears manually using the gear change tool
while riding.
If the transmission is shifted manually when the electric shift system
is functioning, the system will shutdown automatically and the shift
switches will not operate. To reactivate the system, turn the ignition
switch to the OFF (
w
) position, then turn it back to the ON (
q
)
position.
