Safe Driving - Rotax RM1 Operator's Manual

Note: The engine might, due to its few rotating masses, switch by its own to reverse mode.
In this case a warning signal sounds. Press the push-button for activation of the
reverse mode again to return to forward mode.
Attention: In reverse mode the vehicle behaviour is different, therefore drive backwards only at
walking speed.
Attention: In reverse mode never set the ON/OFF switch to position „START". This might
cause serious damage to the starting device.
To change to forward mode, activate the switch for reverse mode again under the same condition
(at idle speed and at standstill of vehicle). Then the engine will change to forward mode. The
warning tone stops.

3.6. Safe driving

Warning: Do not touch the engine, the radiator and the exhaust system during and after
driving – risk of burning yourself.
Warning: When driving, no parts of body or clothing must contact moving parts of the vehicle

the instructions (see mantainance chart) for perfect condition.
Warning: Adhere to the running-in procedure for the engine.
Warning: Run the engine only within its operating limits.
