Riding
The speed is controlled by the throttle lever (8, Fig. 1).
Engaging the first or second gear is done by opening or
closing the throttle. Avoid switching too frequently between
first and second gears. In such situation you should instead
reduce the throttle opening and keep the vehicle in first gear.
When descending a slope, shortly open the throttle from time
to time in order to improve lubrication and headlight
operation. The vehicle is shut down by closing the throttle
lever and switching the STOP button to the position off (6,
Fig. 5). Then close the fuel cock (position A, Fig. 6)!
If the vehicle is to stay out of operation for a longer period
(e.g. during winter), draining of the fuel from the carburetor
cup in the following way is recommended: close the fuel cock
and, by opening the throttle lever, let the engine run out
automatically.
Engine Running-in
Do not run the engine at full throttle during the initial 100 km.
Later increase the engine loading progressively.
