The stop switch may not function correctly due to
1) faulty switch,
2) broken wires,
3) bad connections to any part of the stop switch circuitry
For this reason, the following emergency stop procedures are available:
To stop the engine if the stop switch doesn’t function correctly, you can

Unplug the electric cap of the spark plug
(there is a big risk to take an electric-shock, not dangerous but unpleasant...)

Squeeze the fuel line
(requires an aggressive squeeze, and takes about two minutes to stop the motor).
Different ways to start the engine
Now that we’ve covered stopping the motor, let’s start the engine!
There are three different positions that can be used to start the engine. These positions are:

Standing in front of the unit, holding the unit on the ground.

Strapped into the unit, standing on the ground

In flight.
We’ll cover each of these starting options in turn.
-
Standing in front of the unit, holding the unit on the ground
WARNING! The method of holding the throttle handle is important in this position.
Hold the throttle handle such that you can easily reach the stop button, but not so that you can
inadvertently squeeze the throttle (do not strap your hand to throttle at this point).
A common accident can happen where you hold the throttle in the same hand that you hold the
motor unit, and if you squeeze the throttle a little, the KOMPRESS of the machine will push the
throttle onto your hand, causing you to squeeze the throttle even more.
Make sure that you CANNOT inadvertently squeeze the throttle handle when starting in this
position.
-
Stand in front of the unit, and place your left hand on the top of the central frame tube. Hold the
throttle in your right hand , noting the
warning above.
- Pull the START rope until the engine starts.
- Strapped into the unit, standing on the ground
Once you are ready, strapped and standing on the ground, pull with both hands the start handgrip until
engine start.
