Polaris PRO XD, Owner'S Manual

Page: 36 / 182

GEAR SELECTOR
Low gear is the primary driving range for the PRO XD . High gear is intended for
use on hard-packed surfaces with light loads. Using high gear for heavy loads,
hilly terrain or in wet, muddy conditions will increase the chance of drive belt
spinning. An alarm will sound if the vehicle detects belt spin. See the Drive Belt
Wear/Spin section on page 159.
H: High Gear
L: Low Gear
N: Neutral
R: Reverse
P: Park
To shift gears, brake to a complete stop. When the engine is idling, move the
lever to the desired gear.
NOTICE
Shifting gears with the engine speed above idle or while the vehicle is moving
could cause transmission damage. Always shift when the vehicle is stationary
and the engine is at idle.
TIP
Maintaining shift linkage adjustment is important to assure proper transmission
function. See your dealer if you experience any shifting problems.
USING LOW RANGE
Always shift into low gear for any of the following conditions.
• Operating in rough terrain or over obstacles
• Loading the vehicle onto a trailer
• Towing loads
• Driving frequently at low RPM or at ground speeds below 7 mph (11 km/h)
REVERSE ALERT BEEPER (IF EQUIPPED)
Putting the vehicle into reverse will automatically activate the reverse alert
beeper.
