Gear Shifting

(H type)

THROTTLE GRIP
The shift lever has 3 positions:
FORWARD, NEUTRAL, and
REVERSE.
An indicator at the base of the shift
lever aligns with the icon attached at
the tiller handle.
Be sure to perform the gearshift
operation at a low engine speed.
Shifting the gear at a high engine
speed will damage the drive system.
Be sure that the gear was shifted
securely, then operate the throttle
grip to raise the engine speed.
