Shifting

This model has a 5-speed forward and 1-speed
reverse transmission. The transmission allows
you to control the amount of power you have
available at a given speed or for starting, accel-
erating, climbing hills, etc. To shift into neutral,
return the throttle lever to the closed position,
apply the clutch and repeatedly depress the shift
pedal until it stops. When it stops, it will be in
first gear. Raise the pedal slightly to neutral.
cC
8 Do not coast for long periods with the
engine off, and do not tow the machine a
long distance. Even in neutral position, the
transmission is only properly lubricated
when the engine is running. Inadequate
lubrication may cause damage.
8 Always use the clutch when changing
gears. The engine, transmission and drive
train are not designed to withstand the
shock of forced shifting and can be dam-
aged by shifting without the clutch.
