CAUTION
The engagement / disengagement of the rotor
rotation is made by tensionning or loosening the
two rotor v-belts. This is made with the help of a
lever located above the steering wheel (lift to
engage, lower to release).
Be very carefull, this is not a positive clutch sys-
tem and it might happen that the rotor continue to
turn even when the tension on the belts is
released and the belts are loose.
Never reach into the tub or inside the rotor hous-
ing while motor is running. Always stop engine
and wait for all moving parts to stop before servic-
ing, adjusting or unplugging.
