Fuel Cap
Remove the fuel cap to fill the FLEX™ Power Base with gasoline.
Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up section of this manual for
complete fuel type and filling instructions.
Oil Fill Cap
Remove the oil fill cap to check and/or fill the FLEX™ Power
Base with engine oil. Refer to Adding Oil in the Assembly &
Set-Up section of this manual for complete fuel type and filling
instructions.
On/Off Switch
The On/Off Switch is used to remove the power to the engine,
causing the engine to come to a complete stop. Once pressed
and held, the engine will shut down. Upon releasing the On/Off
Switch, the switch will return to the ON position.
Note:
The On/Off switch is a “Momentary Switch” which means
the operator must hold the switch in the OFF position until the
motor comes to a complete stop.
Note:
Another way to remove power to the engine is to remove
the key by pulling it outward. DO NOT attempt to turn the key.
Engine Controls
Primer Bulb
Pressing the primer bulb forces fuel directly into the engine’s
carburetor to aid in starting a “Cold” engine.
Key
The key is a safety device. It must be fully inserted in order for the
engine to start. Remove the key when the power base is not in
use.
IMPORTANT:
Do not attempt to turn the key once inserted into
the FLEX™ Power Base engine. For the engine to be in the “Run”
position, the key only need be fully inserted into the engine key
hole. Do not turn the key in an attempt to start the engine. Doing
so may cause it to break.
Choke
Activating the choke closes the choke plate on the carburetor
and aids in starting the engine.
