CAUTION:
Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain
anti-friction modifiers. Passenger car motor
oils (often labeled “Energy Conserving”) con-
tain anti-friction additives which will cause
clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, resulting
in reduced component life and poor engine
performance.

Shifting
This model has a 6-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 its original 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 neu-
tral.
CAUTION:
1. Do not coast for long periods with the en-
gine off, and do not tow the machine a
long distance. Even in neutral position,
the transmission is only properly lubricat-
ed when the engine is running. Inade-
quate lubrication may cause damage.
2. Always use the clutch when changing
gears. The engine, transmission and driv-
etrain are not designed to withstand the
shock of forced shifting and can be dam-
aged by shifting without the clutch.
