the engine warms. Always
slide the choke fully to the
left when operating the
machine.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch has three positions—OFF, RUN,
and START.
OFF
– The engine is off in the
OFF position. Turn the switch
counterclockwise to OFF to stop the
engine.

supply solenoid supplies fuel to the
engine. The machine operates in this
position.
START
– In the START position, the
starter engages. When released, the
switch returns to RUN.

10.
Slowly increase the engine speed to engage the centrifugal
clutch.
11.
Increase throttle setting to maximum speed for operation.
12.
Ensure that the rotor is up to speed, start feeding material
into hopper.
4.6.2 Stopping:
1.
Stop feeding material into the hopper.
2.
Slow engine to idle.
3.
Turn ignition switch off.
Caution:
Be aware that the rotor will
continue to turn for a few minutes
after the engine has stopped. Wait for all
parts to stop moving before attempting to
access the machine in any way.
