CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Choke Lever
Move the choke lever (H) to the START

Slowly move the choke lever to the RUN
position as the engine RPM stabilizes.
Fuel Tank Cap Vent Lever
When the engine is well-cooled and not
in use, the fuel tank cap vent lever (I)
must be placed in the OFF position to
reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
The vent lever must be in the ON
position to allow the engine to operate.

The engine switch (J) controls the
ignition system and the fuel valve. ON:

engine to be started. OFF: closes the fuel
valve and shuts off the engine.
