Points for Attention during Drive
1. Avoid unnecessary idling of engine at high speeds. Idling engine at high
speeds will damage engine components.
2. The clutch will wear out quickly if clutch in a semi-engaged position.
Clutch should be pulled in and release once desired gear is achieved, do
not hold clutch half in or half out of engagement.
3. Shift to lower gears when there is insufficient power to climb hills or
continue forward.
4. Use both front and rear brakes when coming to a stop. Applying front
brake only could cause front wheel to lock up which could result in an
accident.
5. Do not place transmission in neutral while traveling at high speeds
6. Decrease throttle while braking.
