Shifting
This ATV has a 6-speed forward and 1-speed re-

to control the amount of power you have available
at a given speed or for starting, accelerating, climb-
ing hills, etc.

ply the clutch, and then repeatedly depress the
shift pedal until it stops.
When it stops, it will be in first gear. Raise the pedal
slightly to reach the neutral position, and then re-
lease the clutch.
