Throttle Lever
Control engine RPM with the
position 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 lim-
ited by adjusting the throttle lim-
iter screw. The throttle limiter
should be adjusted according to
the operator’s skill and experi-
ence. To adjust the throttle lim-
iter, 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
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 carburetor. 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 position desired.
SHIFT LEVER
1. To shift into forward gear,
pull out and upward on the
shift lever until the transmis-
sion engages in the forward
gear.
2. To shift into reverse gear,
pull out and push downward
on the shift lever until the
transmission engages the
reverse gear. When in
reverse with the ignition
switch in the ON position,
the reverse indicator light
will illuminate.
