Gear Selector
Low gear is the primary driving range for your vehicle. 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 burning. See the Drive Belt Wear/Burn section on Drive Belt Wear/Burn.
