INSTALLATION
1.
Make sure that the engine mounting beams in the
hull are parallel, with their top surfaces in the same
plane. If they are not, the engine will not rest firmly
as the engine mounting faces (undersides of the
mounting lugs) are precision machined to be flat
and in the same plane. Poor installation may not
only cause vibration, erratic running and loss of
performance, but may also damage the engine
itself by deforming the crankcase, cylinder, etc.
2.
The mounting beams and adjacent hull structure
should be as rigid as possible so that the engine
may develop its full performance. Use 3mm steel
screws, such as Allen socket-head type, with
locknuts, for bolting the engine to the mounting
beams.
3.
If the holes in the mounting beams do not align
exactly with the engine's mounting lugs, enlarge
them slightly with a needle file so that the mounting
screws pass through the holes smoothly without
being forced.
Chamfer inside edges of bearers.
NOTES CONCERNING THE RECOIL STARTER
REMINDER!
Do not attempt to disassemble the recoil
starter. If you do so, the very strong spring
inside will be suddenly ejected. This can be
very dangerous.
Do not extend the starter cord more than
45cm(18"). Do not abruptly release the
operating handle. Allow the cord to rewind
smoothly while still holding the handle.
Pull the operating handle straight out when
starting the engine, so that the cord does not
rub against the vehicle body or engine.This
will help prevent the cord from being damaged
by abrasion or engine heat.
