CONTROLS AND FEATURES

Choke Lever

When the engine is well-cooled and not in use, the fuel tank cap vent lever (I) must be placed in the OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage. The vent lever must be in the ON position to allow the engine to operate.

Engine Fuel Switch

The engine switch (J) controls the ignition system and the fuel valve. ON: opens the fuel valve and allows the engine to be started. OFF: closes the fuel valve and shuts off the engine.
