Use  2  (Second  Gear)  for  more  power
when  climbing  hills   and  for  increased
braking when going down hills.This posi-
tion also helps reduce wheel spin on slip-
pery  surfaces.  When  the  shift  lever  is
placed in 2 (Second Gear), the transaxle
will  automatically shift  from first  to  sec-
ond gear.
Moving up a steep grade from a
standing start
To move up a  steep grade from a stand-
ing start,  depress  the brake  pedal, shift
the  shift  lever  to  D  (Drive). Select  the
appropriate   gear   depending   on   load
weight and  steepness of the  grade, and
release  the parking  brake. Depress  the
accelerator gradually while  releasing the
service brakes.

and   engages   the   overdrive   system.
When the  O/D system  is cancelled,  the

through 3rd.The transaxle will not shift to
4th gear  until  the O/D  system button  is
pressed again to release the switch.

the   transaxle  in   O/D   (4th),  you   can
decrease the vehicle speed without using
the brakes by pressing the O/D button.
Do  not  exceed  the  recommended
maximum   speeds   in   2   (Second
Gear)  or   L   (Low).  Operating   the
vehicle  at speeds  above the  maxi-
mum recommended,  for 2  (Second

sive  heat  to  develop  which  could
result in damage to or failure  of the
automatic transaxle.
When the  ignition is  switched OFF,  O/D
OFF mode is automatically cancelled.
