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.
