stop the rotor rotation. A clutch and brake system controls the
power that transfers from the engine, through the drive belt, to
the rotor.

5.4.1 Stop Position
IMPORTANT! When the clutch disengages, the brake
automatically engages.
When the clutch handle is in the STOP position, the clutch is
disengaged. Power from the engine does not transfer to the
drive belt. The drive belt and the rotor come to a stop (it takes
approximately five seconds for the rotor to come to a full stop
after you move the clutch handle to the STOP position).
Spring tension holds the clutch handle in the STOP position.
5.4.2 Rotate Position
Move the clutch handle slowly to engage the
clutch. Quick movement of the clutch handle may
cause the engine to stall.
When the clutch handle is in the rotate position, the clutch is
engaged. Power from the engine transfers through the drive belt
to rotate the rotor.
Spring tension holds the clutch handle in the rotate position.
