Engine Speed Control Handle
The engine-speed-control handle ( Figure 7 ) allows
the operator to start and shut off the engine. It is
located on the engine cowl, and is connected to the
engine-speed-control knob, which is located on the
engine (
Figure 8 ). To control the engine-speed-control
handle:
1. Rotate the engine-speed-control handle
counterclockwise to unlock it.
2. Pull it all the way out and lock it by rotating it
clockwise.
3. Rotate it counterclockwise and push it in to stop
the engine.
Note:
The speed-control knob on the engine must be
loose (rotated counterclockwise) for the cowl-mounted
speed-control handle to work.
