CONTROLS

Before starting to work, all operators should familiar-
ize themselves with the location and function of the
controls.
1. Gas engine powered units:
Always read the engine Operator's Manual supplied
with the machine for the detailed operating proce-
dures for your engine.
a. Ignition switch:
This switch controls the electrical power to the
engine electrical system. Turn the switch clock-
wise to turn the electrical system ON and the
engine will run. Turn counterclockwise to stop
the engine.
b. Fuel shutoff valves:
Each engine is equipped with a shut-off valve
between the fuel tank and the carburator. Slide
the fuel valve toward the block to turn ON and
away for OFF. Turn the fuel OFF when not in use
or before transporting.
c. Throttle:
This lever controls the engine RPM. Move the
lever laterally to increase or decrease the RPM.
Always run at maximum throttle operating.
d. Choke:
The choke controls the fuel/air mixture to the
engine. Close the choke when starting if the
engine is cold. Open the choke as the engine
warms. Always open the choke fully during
operation.
e. Starting rope:
This retracting rope and T bar is used to turn the
engine over for starting. Grasp the T bar firmly
and pull the rope sharply to start the engine.
Close the choke if the engine is cold.
f. External Emergency Stop Switch:
This push-pull switch shorts out the power to
the gas engine ignition system and is located
on the outside of the hood. Push the switch
in to stop the engine and pull out to allow it
to run.
