GEAR SHIFT CONTROL
The lever (1) is placed on the left-hand side of the en-
gine. The operator must release the lever after each gear
change to allow it to return to its central position. Neutral
position (N) is between the first and second gears.
First gear is engaged by pushing the lever downwards;
for other gears push it upwards.
The position of the gear shift lever on the shaft can be
varied as follows: loosen the screw, pull the lever out,
and place the lever in a new position on the shaft.
Tighten the screw once operation is completed.
CAUTION*: Do not shift gears without
disengaging the clutch and closing the
throttle. The engine could be damaged
by overspeed.
WARNING*: Do not downshift when trav-
elling at a speed that would force the en-
gine to overrev in the next lower gear,
or cause the rear wheel to lose grip.
