CAUTION:
_
Do not coast for long periods with the
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
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.
