To decelerate

When slowing down or stopping, release the

throttle and apply the brakes smoothly and

evenly. As you slow down, shift to a lower

gear. Be sure that the engine has sufficiently

slowed before engaging a lower gear. Improp-

er use of the brakes or shifting can cause the

tires to lose traction, reducing control and in-

creasing the possibility of an accident.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Opening the throttle before releasing

the shift pedal.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

The machine could wheelie. This would

increase the chance of an accident, in-

cluding overturn.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

Release the shift pedal before opening

the throttle. Open the throttle gradually.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Engaging a lower gear when the engine

speed is too high.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

The wheels could stop rotating. This

could cause loss of control, an accident

and injury. It could also cause engine or

drive train damage.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

Make sure the engine has sufficiently

slowed before shifting to a lower gear.
