NOTE
If the engine does not start, turn the key to the "OFF" position
and wait some seconds before trying again. These attempts
should be as short as possible, in order to preserve the battery
charge
GEARBOX
This vehicle is fitted with a 5-speed gearbox.
It is a sequential gearbox, which means that in order to reach third
gear from first gear we have to go through second gear, that is, the
gears go up or down gear by gear.
To engage first gear from neutral, pull in the clutch lever and push
down on the shift pedal then release the pressure on the shift pedal
and gently release the clutch lever. (In the next section the process
of starting the vehicle is described in more detail).
CAUTION
When changing gears, press firmly on the shift pedal to ensure
complete, positive shifting. Careless, incomplete shifts can cause
the transmission to jump out of gear and lead to engine damage.
CAUTION
Do not run for a long time with the engine off , or tow the QUAD
for long distances. Even in neutral, the lubrication system for the
gearbox is only activated when the engine is on. Insufficient lubrication
may lead to faults.
STARTING THE VEHICLE
1.- Operate the throttle twist-grip.
CAUTION
Release the throttle to change gear, otherwise the engine and
transmission may be damaged.
2.- As we have already explained, the clutch must be activated to
engage the first gear from neutral, then press on the shift pedal,
release the clutch slowly and accelerate gradually.
3.- Once the desired speed has been achieved, release the throttle
and, at the same time, activate the clutch lever rapidly.
4.- Change to second gear (be careful not to insert neutral).
5.- Activate the throttle partially and release the clutch lever gradually.
6.- Follow the same procedure to change into higher gears.
WARNING
Excessive acceleration or sudden release the clutch lever too quickly
may result in an accident and may cause the vehicle to slide and
turn over. Operate the throttle gradually and release the clutch gently.
To decelerate
To slow down or stop, release the throttle and apply the brakes
evenly and gently. As the vehicle slows down, change into a lower
gear. Before reducing a gear, wait for the engine speed to fall to the
adequate level. Inappropriate use of the brakes or gear shift could
cause the tyres
to lose grip, resulting in a loss of control and risk of an accident.
