8. If the engine does not start, repeat steps 1 through 7
or consult the troubleshooting guide contained in this
manual.
9. Depending on weather conditions, let the engine warm
for 3 to 5 minutes before using roller. Check for fuel
and oil leaks, and noises that would associate with a
loose guard and/or covers.
10. If necessary, return the choke knob to the full OPEN
position.
NOTICE
The CLOSED position of the choke knob enriches the
fuel mixture for starting a COLD engine. The OPEN
position provides the correct fuel mixture for normal
operation after starting, and for restarting a warm
engine.

2. Remember the speed of the roller is directly proportional
to the amount of pressure being applied to the lever
in each direction. Travel speed is between 0 and 4.8
mph (7.2 kph).
NOTICE
ALWAYS allow the roller to come to a complete stop
before changing the direction of travel. Changing
directions before the roller comes to a complete stop
will result in excessive force being applied to the
transmission and drive system, which will reduce the
service life of the system.
3. Try maneuvering the roller a few times to get familiar
with the handling. Also place the travel lever in the
opposite direction to get acquainted with driving in
reverse.
4. Make sure that the roller comes to a complete stop
(neutral) before placing the travel lever in either a
forward or reverse position.
