Basic Operation & Riding
Shifting Gears
Your ATV has five forward gears (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). To shift the
transmission, pull in the clutch lever/parking brake lever, then operate
the shift lever as follows.
The shift lever is located near the left footpeg. One full stroke of the
shift lever shifts the transmission to the next higher or lower gear in the
shifting sequence. The shift lever automatically returns to the horizontal
position when released.
To upshift to a higher gear, put the toe of your boot under the shift lever
and raise it one full stroke. To downshift, step on the shift lever and
depress it one full stroke.
After starting the engine and letting it warm up, follow these
procedures:
While the engine is idling, pull in the clutch lever/parking brake lever
and raise the shift lever to shift into 1st gear.
(cont’d)
To select reverse, use the reverse assist lever (page ).
With the transmission in neutral, depress and hold down the rear
brake pedal. Release the parking brake (page
).
