Kick lever Is designed to start the engine. On pressing the lever the crankshaft of the engine is
actuated through the gearbox. The lever is returned to its initial position by the spring inside the
gearbox.
Gear shift foot pedal Is a two-arm type. When the front arm is depressed, shifting from higher to
lower gear takes place. When the rear arm is depressed, shifting from lower to higher gear takes
place. Since the heel-toe shift lever is short-coupled, you will find it easier to shift into a higher
gear if you do not use your heel to shift, rather the ball of your foot. The neutral position is fixed
between the 1
st
and 2
nd
gears. It is important to shift smoothly with a constant force and not to kick
the gear shift pedal. Serious damage may result to the shifting mechanism if the gear shift pedal is
kicked, rather than pushed.
IMPORTANT! The green pilot lamp will illuminate when either the transmission is in neutral
or when the reverse gear is engaged (see “Starting the Engine”).
