3. Rotor Drive:
The machine is designed with a V belt to trans-
mit power from the engine to the rotor. The
clutch is designed with an internal brake that
will stop the belt/rotor when engaged.
a. To Start the Rotor: move the lever fully toward
the rotor housing to release the clutch brake and
drive the rotor. In this position, the handle also
prevents opening of the upper rotor housing
while the rotor is rotating.
b. To Stop the Rotor: move the lever fully away
from the rotor housing to apply the brake in the
clutch and stop the rotor.
