measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Place
the throttle control in the Fast position for best
performance. Always operate in the full throttle
position.
WARNING
The machine can spin very rapidly. The operator
may lose control of the machine and cause personal
injury or damage to the machine.
• Use caution when making turns.
• Slow the machine down before making sharp
turns.
