10.Clutch lever
Before the operation check, make sure that there are no foreign objects
(such as sand, soil, twigs, etc.) caught around the clutch lever, lock
lever and/or lock lever arm.
Check that the lock lever and the clutch lever operate smoothly by
pushing the lock lever, and squeezing the clutch lever.
If the lock lever and clutch lever do not operate smoothly, or the clutch
engages by squeezing the clutch lever without pushing the lock lever,
disassemble and clean the clutch lever (see page 50).
