Control Functions
6.2 Control of flow of petrol (Fig. 29):
There is a fuel tap under the seat that has
three positions: (ON) for a regular flow of
fuel, (OFF) to stop the flow of fuel from
the tank to the engine and (RES) that
must be activated when on reserve.
If the vehicle stops on account of lack of
petrol, then turn the cock lever to (RES)
i.e. "RESERVE" position. There is one
litre of petrol kept in reserve in your tank
for any emergency.
There is a fuel gauge in the instrument
panel for indicating the quantity of fuel in
the tank.
6.3 Choke control knob (Fig. 30): Located
below the fuel cock. To be used for
starting the engine when it is cold. Pull
the choke knob outwards for operation.
Pull out the choke control knob to operate
it. It must be pushed back in when the
engine has warmed up.
Caution: If the choke control knob is pulled out and
remains out, this would cause an
excessive level of fuel in the carburettor
that would cause
