CONTROL FUNCTIONS

FRONT BRAKE LEVER

The front brake lever 1 is located on the right

handlebar. Pull it toward the handlebar to acti-

vate the front brake.

The rear brake pedal 1 is located on the right

side of the machine. Press down on the brake

pedal to activate the rear brake.

The fuel cock supplies fuel from the tank to car-

buretor while filtering the fuel. The fuel cock has

the two positions:

OFF: With the lever in this position, fuel will not

flow. Always return the lever to this posi-

tion when the engine is not running.

ON: With the lever in this position, fuel flows to

the carburetor. Normal riding is done with

the lever in this position.

When cold, the engine requires a richer air-fuel

mixture for starting. A separate starter circuit,

which is controlled by the starter knob 1, sup-

plies this mixture. Pull the starter knob out to

open the circuit for starting. When the engine

has warmed up, push it in to close the circuit.
