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.
