Shifting

This model is equipped with a dual, 5-speed for-
ward and 1-speed reverse transmission with a
centrifugal clutch. The transmission allows you to
control the amount of power you have available at
a given speed or for starting, accelerating, climb-
ing hills, reverse, etc. To shift into neutral, return
the throttle lever to its original position and repeat-
edly depress the shift pedal until it stops.
CAUTION:
Do not coast for long periods with the engine
off, and do not tow the machine a long dis-
tance. Even in neutral position, the transmis-
sion is only properly lubricated when the
engine is running. Inadequate lubrication may
cause damage.
