Shifting
This model has a 3-speed forward transmission
with centrifugal automatic clutch. The transmis-
sion allows you to control the amount of power
you have available at a given speed or for start-
ing accelerating, climbing, etc. To shift into neu-
tral, return the throttle lever to its original posi-
tion and repeatedly depress the shift pedal until
it stops.

cC
Do not coast for long periods with the engine
off, and do not tow the machine a long dis-
tance. Even with gears in neutral, the trans-
mission is only properly lubricated when the
engine is running. Inadequate lubrication
may damage the transmission.
