OPERATION INSTRUMENTS

Clutch lever

The clutch lever is located on the left side of the handlebar. The adju-
A
sting screw is used to change the original position of the clutch lever (see
maintenance work on chassis and engine).

Hand decompression lever

The hand decompression lever
causes overflowing in the carburetor. To "pump the engine free", pull the
hand decompression lever during the starting procedure.
The outer end of the lever must at all times provide for a backlash of
approx. 10mm (0,4 in). Only thereafter may it cause valve motion (to be
recognized by the stronger resistance which the hand decompression level
encounters).
