Improper reverse operation, even at low speeds, may cause loss of control, resulting in serious injury or death. Damage will
occur to the chaincase or transmission if shifting is attempted when the engine is operating above idle speed.

- Look behind the vehicle before and while backing.
- Avoid sharp turns.
