1. No owner's booklet. DH was able to find a brochure on the web but not the actual owner's manual.
2. Yes I was serious. My understanding of Low is that you are pretty much limited to the 10-15 mph range. It seemed that people were talking about going 30-35. If they go that fast in low, isn't that bad for the engine? I am not knowledgable about engines, which is why I ask questions. I'd rather learn from more knowledgable people before I cost myself an expensive repair.
Thank you, doxiemom and tropical. I'm pretty sure my old Winnie doesn't have the 3-2-1, just the standard PRNDL, but I'll doublecheck.
Gonna be L then and the only gear that will stay put. Also, 25mph shouldn't over rev the engine, unless it has a really low rear end. At any rate check the RPM's and stay away from the red line, as you can always go a little slower to stay within the optimum band.
Low gear and some decent RPM will provide for a lot of torque and HP and spin the fan at high speed for cooling as well.
