Note
Idle speed may be higher during
warming up of engine. If shifted to
Forward or Reverse during warming
up, it may be difficult to shift back to
neutral. In such case, stop engine,
shift to neutral, and restart engine to
warm up.
Note
Frequent shifting to forward or reverse
can accelerate wear or degradation
of parts. In such case, replace gear
oil earlier than the period specified.
Be sure to warm up engine well before
