fied. In addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or higher.

Accelerating
With the engine idling in neutral and your foot on
the brake, shift the drive select lever into low or
high. NOTICE: Do not shift from low to high or
vice versa without coming to a complete stop
and waiting for the engine to return to normal
idle speed – damage to the engine or drive
train may occur. Then release the parking
brake. Press the accelerator pedal slowly and
smoothly. The centrifugal clutch will engage and
the vehicle will begin to accelerate.
Avoid higher speeds and sudden or hard acceler-
ation until you are thoroughly familiar with the op-
eration of your vehicle. Avoid sudden or hard
acceleration in any turn.
