Engine speed
Choose engine speeds in accord-
ance with the coolant temperature
reading, and do not use maximum
engine speeds until the engine
has reached its regular operating
temperature.
When the revolution counter
needle enters the red zone on the
dial, the fuel supply is interrupted
in order to protect the engine
against overspeeding, as you will
notice because the engine
"stutters".
