ENGaGEmENT HaNdLE
During engine start-up, the engagement handle must be
in the disengaged position (Figure 3.1). With engine at
full throttle, carefully engage the rotor by slowly pushing
the engagement handle down, allowing the rotor to speed
up gradually (Figure 3.2). Engaging the clutch too quickly
with the engine at full or half throttle will bog down the
engine and will shorten the life of the belt. To disengage
the rotor, first idle the engine down and then lift the
engagement handle up
