MACHINE´S SAFETY EQUIPMENT

The safety key is located under the battery cover next to
the battery. The safety key is used to activate the battery,
which powers the motor.
Safety key check
• Check the safety key by starting and stopping the
engine. See instructions under the heading Starting
and stopping.
• The motor should only be able to start when the key is
turned to position 1.
Start inhibitor
The start immobilizer prevents unintentional start by
stopping the handle from activating the motor.
Check of start inhibitor
• Fold in the engine brake handle towards the
handlebar and make sure the start inhibitor prevents
the bar activating the starter motor.
• Make sure the start inhibitor easily returns to its
original position after activation.
