ROTO-STOP LEVER
The ROTO-STOP lever operates the blade brakeblutch mechanism. It is used to
start and stop the blade.
lb put the blade into operation, press the button on top of the ROTO-STOP lever,
then push the lever forward and hold it against the handlebar.
Releasing the ROTO-STOP lever will stop the blade.
Operate the ROTO-STOP lever with a quick and complete motion, so the blade
drive is always either fully engaged or stopped. This will help to prevent stalling
the engine, and it will also extend the service life of the ROTO-STOP mechanism.
1 IMPORTANT NoTKE 1 If you move the ROTO-STOP lever slowly or
partially, the blade brake/clutch mechanism will wear out prematurely.
NOTE: Always release the ROTO-STOP lever before starting the engine. If the blade
drive is engaged, extra effort will be required to operate the starter.
