CAUTION:
_
Do not coast for long periods with the
G
engine off, and do not tow the ma-
chine a long distance. Even in neutral
position, the transmission is only
properly lubricated when the engine is
running. Inadequate lubrication may
cause damage.
Always use the clutch when changing
G
gears. The engine, transmission and
drive train are not designed to with-
stand the shock of forced shifting and
can be damaged by shifting without
the clutch.
