The transmission gear selector (1) is located on the right side of the

vehicle. Shift patterns vary, depending on your model.

H: High Gear

To shift into HIGH or PARK on the Sportsman 600 or 700, you must

first apply the auxiliary brake t o activate the high/park lock-out

mechanism. When shifting out of HIGH or PARK, it’s not necessary

to apply the brake.

Whenever the ATV is left unattended, always place the transmission in

first gear (or in PARK if equipped) and lock the parking brake.

Maintaining shift linkage adjustment is important to assure proper

transmission function on the Sportsman 400 and 500. See your dealer
