Transmission

Shifting gears

The Vector 250 is equipped with a fully automatic C.V.T. transmission and has a forward and reverse gearing system. The transmission shift lever is located of your unit just below and ahead to the seat. The shifter has a three position notched locator plate indicating transmission gear selections of “F”, “N” and “R”

“F” = Forward

“N” = Neutral

“R” = Reverse

The position of the transmission gears is also indicated on the digital console directly below the digital readout display. It contains the same three indicators of “F”, “N”, and “R”.

To start your engine, both the shift selector lever and the shift indicator lamp on the console must be in the “N”, neutral, position.

To shift from one gear to another, bring the unit to a complete stop and while applying either the rear or front brake slowly move the shift selector lever to the desired gear pausing slightly in the neutral position to allow for the transmission gears to synchronize. One the shift is completed
