NOTICE
Warm up the engine before shifting into
gear. Until the engine is warm, the idle
speed may be higher than normal. High
idle speed can prevent you from shifting
back to neutral. If this occurs, stop the
engine, shift to neutral, then restart the
engine and allow it to warm up.
To shift out of neutral
1. Move the gear shift lever firmly and
crisply forward (for forward gear) or
29
backward (for reverse gear). Be sure to
check that the tilt lock lever is in the
lock/down position (if equipped) before
operating in reverse.
