Low gear is the primary driving range for the RANGER.
High gear is intended for use on hard-packed surfaces
with light loads.
Whenever the vehicle is left unattended, always place the transmission in PARK.
To change gears, stop the vehicle, and with the engine idling, move the lever to the desired
gear. Do not attempt to shift gears with engine speed above idle or while the vehicle is mov-
ing.
Tip: Maintaining shift linkage adjustment is important to assure proper transmission function. See your
dealer if you experience any shifting problems.
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.
