Engine Warm-Up
Always let engine warm up to normal operating temperature before accelerating.
Throttle Lever
The throttle lever controls both the throttle and the transmission. The idle position (normally vertical) is the zero throttle position and the neutral position for the transmission. A safety ring (umbrella) keeps the lever from being accidentally moved to engage the transmission.
To place the transmission into gear, with your hand placed over the lever ball, pull up on the safety ring (umbrella) and slowly push the lever into forward gear or slowly pull the lever back into reverse gear.
Never shift the lever directly from the neutral (vertical) position into a speed position.
-To prevent damage to the transmission always allow the transmission time to engage before accelerating the engine.
-Once the transmissions engaged, you may accelerate as quickly as you like.
Transmission
Lockout
The Transmission Lockout button allows the transmission to be disengaged while giving the throttle full operating range. With the lever in the idle position (normally vertical) push the button located at the bottom of the lever to disengage the transmission. The throttle may then be operated in any open position (forward of neutral or back of neutral upright position). Return the throttle to idle position, and the transmission lockout will automatically reengage the transmission in neutral position.
