STARTINGANDOPERATING
Fully depress the clutch pedal before you shift gears. As
you release the clutch pedal, lightly depress the accelera-
tor pedal.
For most city driving you will find it easier to use only
the lower gears. For stead y highw ay driving with light
accelerations, 5th gear is recom mend ed.
Never drive with you r foot resting on the clutch pedal, or
try to hold the vehicle on a hill with the clutch pedal
partially engaged . This will cause abnorm al wear on the
clutch.
Never shift into REVERSE until the vehicle has come to a
complete stop .
NOTE:
During cold weather, until the transaxle lubri-
cant is warm , you may experience slightly higher shift
efforts. This is norm al and not harm ful to the transaxle.
Use each gear in nu merical ord er - do not skip a gear. Be
sure the transaxle is in FIRST gear, (not THIRD), when
starting from a stand ing position. Dam age to the clutch
can resu lt from starting in THIRD.
