Emergency Stop Switch
This switch will stop the engine. The engine can be started again by
pressing the starter button.

is off. The engine cannot be started or
will not run. If the switch is used to
stop the engine without turning off
ignition switch, the battery may dis-
charge.

Electric Starter Button
Pushing in on this button activates the
starter motor. Before starting the
engine, make sure the ignition switch
is in the ON position and the parking
brake is engaged.
Throttle Lever
Control engine RPM with the posi-
tion of the throttle lever. Operate
this lever with the thumb. Pushing it
forward increases engine RPM and
allowing it to retract decreases
engine RPM.
Throttle Limiter Screw
Throttle lever travel may be limited by adjusting the throttle limiter screw.
The throttle limiter should be adjusted according to the operator’s skill and
experience. To adjust the throttle limiter, use the following procedure:
1. Loosen the jam nut (A).
2. Turn the throttle limiter screw
(B) clockwise to decrease
engine RPM maximum or
counterclockwise to increase
engine RPM maximum.
3. Tighten the jam nut (A)
securely.
Fuel Valve
The fuel valve is incorporated in-line
with the gas tank. There are three
positions: ON, RES, and OFF.
In the OFF position, the valve will not
allow gasoline to flow to the carbure-
tor. In the ON position (the normal
operating position), gasoline will flow
from the tank to the carburetor. In this
position, 1.3 L (0.34 U.S. gal.) will remain in the tank as a reserve quantity.
Moving the valve to the reserve (RES) position will allow the operator
to use the remaining gasoline in the tank. When turning the valve to any
of the three positions, be sure the indicator is pointed directly at the posi-
tion desired.
! WARNING
Never leave the valve in the ON or RES position when the
engine is not running.
