Control Functions
MAIN SWITCH
Functions of the respective switch position are as follows:
ON: Engine can be started only at this position
OFF:
All electrical circuits are switched off. The key can be removed
in this position
THROTTLE
Once the engine is running, movement of the throttle lever will increase
the engine speed. Regulate the speed of the engine by varying the throttle
position. Because the throttle is spring-loaded, the engine will decelerate,
and the engine will return to an idle any time your finger is removed from
the throttle to be sure it is operating smoothly. Make sure it returns to the
idle position as soon as the lever is released.
