SHIFTING GEARS
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Shifting gears without releasing the throttle.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause the ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always release the throttle when shifting gears.
To downshift, reverse this sequence. Remember to close the
throttle each time you shift to the next lower gear.
After starting the engine and letting it warm up, follow these proce-
dures:
With the transmission in neutral, release the parking brake, but
continue squeezing the rear brake lever.
Release the rear brake lever and increase engine speed by
gradually opening the throttle.
With the throttle closed, raise the gearshift pedal one full stroke to
shift into 1st (first) gear.
When speed increases, release the throttle and shift to 2nd gear by
raising the gearshift pedal one full stroke.
Repeat this sequence to progressively upshift to 3rd, 4th and 5th
(top) gear.
