Features and Controls
Manual Shift
Deceleration
To slow or stop the vehicle, release the throttle lever and apply the brakes smoothly and
evenly. As the vehicle slows and engine speed decreases, disengage the clutch and shift to a
lower gear. Be sure engine speed has sufficiently decreased before downshifting.
WARNING! Improper use of the brakes or shifting when the engine speed is too high can cause the
tires to lose traction or stop rotating, which could result in loss of control.
NOTICE: Shifting when engine speed is too high can also cause engine and drive train damage.
