OPERATION
Reverse Operation
Make sure the shift lever i s shifted completely into forward or reverse
position. Do not force the shift lever into reverse if resistance is felt.
The gears may not always be aligned for shifting into reverse, and
forcing the lever may cause damage. If resistance is felt, gently apply
the throttle to move the gears to a different position and try t o shift
again.
The transmission may not always be in the gear indicated by the shift
lever. Apply the throttle slowly until you’re sure which gear is
engaged.
Sometimes the drive belt will drag in the drive clutch, causing slight
tension in the transmission and making i t hard to shift. S hutting the
engine off will remove this tension and ease shifting. This should only
happen during the break-in of a new belt or when the drive/driven
clutch center distance is too long. If this is the case, belt tension
adjustments should be made by your dealer.
Improper reverse operation, even at low speeds, may cause loss
of control, resulting in serious injury or death.
S Always look behind the vehicle before and while backing.
S Always avoid sharp turns.
S Shift to or from reverse only when stopped.
S Always apply throttle slowly.
