OPERATING THE TRANSMISSION
WARNING!
If your vehicle has an automated
transmission, be aware that it can
roll backwards when stopped on a
hill or grade, or when starting from
a stop on a hill or grade. Failure to
comply may result in death, personal
injury, equipment or property dam-
age. Observe the following guide-
lines:
•
When stopped on a hill or grade,
press the brake pedal.
•
When starting from a stop on a
hill or grade, quickly remove your
foot from the brake pedal and
firmly press on the accelerator
pedal.
Auxiliary Transmission
If you have an auxiliary transmission,
see your transmission manufacturer’s
manual for its proper operation.
More Transmission Tips
Riding the Clutch
The clutch is not a footrest. Do not
drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal. It will allow your clutch to
slip, causing excessive heat and wear,
and damage could result.
Release Bearing Wear
When you must idle your engine for any
period of time, shift your transmission
to neutral and disengage the clutch
(take your foot OFF the pedal). This
helps prevent unnecessary wear to
your clutch release bearing, and it is
less tiring for you, too.
Tips
•
Always use the clutch when
making upshifts or downshifts.
•
Always select a starting gear
that will provide sufficient gear
reduction for the load and terrain.
