To decelerate
When slowing down or stopping, release the
throttle and apply the brakes smoothly and
evenly. As you slow down, shift to a lower
gear. Be sure that the engine has sufficiently
slowed before engaging a lower gear. Improp-
er use of the brakes or shifting can cause the
tires to lose traction, reducing control and in-
creasing the possibility of an accident.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Opening the throttle before releasing
the shift pedal.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The machine could wheelie. This would
increase the chance of an accident, in-
cluding overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Release the shift pedal before opening
the throttle. Open the throttle gradually.
WARNING

The wheels could stop rotating. This
could cause loss of control, an accident
and injury. It could also cause engine or
drive train damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Make sure the engine has sufficiently
slowed before shifting to a lower gear.
