OPERATION

Handling

As the engine warms up, gradually move the choke lever to the OPEN position.
Position the throttle lever for the desired engine speed.

Oil alert system

The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crank-
case. Before the oil level in the crankcase drops below a safe limit, the oil alert system will automatically shut
down the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON position).

Note: If engine does not start
check oil level

Forward and reverse motion

The engine speed can be infinitely varied with the throttle control lever (5).
The direction of travel is determined with the shift lever (6).
Depending on the position of the shift lever (6), the vibration plate compacts in forward direction, at standstill
or in reverse direction.
