STARTINGTHE ENGINE

1.Move the cell/crank start switch of the machine to the cell start position.

2.Move the main switch of the machine to the ON position.

2.Start the cell motor by moving the transmitter engine starter switch to the on position. Do not run starter longer than 10 seconds to avoid overheating.

3.Warm up engine without load for 3 to 5 minutes.

OPERATINGTHE MACHINE

1.Read all safety information in this manual and understand the operation of this machine thoroughly before starting operation.

2.The infra-red remote control system controls the stepless adjustable speed, forward-reverse, and steering of the machine by a single joystick lever in the transmitter.

3.Press the joystick lever slightly to the direction you want the machine to travel.

4.The speed is also controlled by the joystick lever and is determined by the pressed angle.

5.Switch on the vibration switch of the transmitter to activate transmission.

RESTARTINGTHE ENGINE

1.If starting fails or engine stops suddenly, allow an interval of a few seconds to make sure that the crankshaft of the engine is completely stopped.

2.Move the transmitter engine starter switch to the on position to restart.

RESTARTINGWITH REMOTE CABLE

1.If machine still fails to restart, check for the following: The operator approached the machine too closely. The transmitter is too far from the control area. Low Battery Power.

2.To check if restart failure is due to the reasons listed in step 3, move the transmitter engine starter switch to the on position. Check if the signal lamp. If it does not flash then reasons listed are confirmed.

5.The remote control cable may be used to restart the engine in this case. See Battery Charging Section on how to install the remote control cable.

6.Move the machine main switch to the ON position.

7.Move the transmitter engine starter switch to the on position.

8.Move the transmitter engine starter switch to the on position to restart.

CRANK STARTINGTHE ENGINE

When the voltage of the main battery drops and the cell motor is not running, the engine may be manually started with the crank handle.

1.Move the cell/crank start switch of the machine to the crankstart position. See Figure 4, item 5 for location.

2.Move the machine main switch to the ON position.

3.Take out the crank handle from the handle holder.

4.Engage the crank handle with crankshaft and turn the handle clockwise to start (Figure 15).

5.Once the engine starts, follow normal operating procedure.

STOPPINGTHE ENGINE

1.Run the machine at idle for 3 to 5 minutes before stopping engine.

2.Move the transmitter engine starter switch to the off position.

3.If the engine does not properly stop, push the throttle lever, located next to the oil filter, until it comes to a complete stop (approximately 15 seconds).

4.After operation is completed, move the main switch of the machine to the off position.
