not be used. The throttle should be opened
slightly.
EBU01820
Warming up

Shifting
This model has a 5-speed forward transmission.
The transmission allows you to control the
amount of power you have available at a given
speed or for starting, accelerating, 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 neutral.
cC
8Do 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.
8Always 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.
