KICKSTARTER CRANK
Rotate the kickstarter crank "1" away from the
engine. Push the starter down lightly with your
foot until the gears engage, then kick smoothly
and forcefully to start the engine. This model
has a primary kickstarter crank so the engine
can be started in any gear if the clutch is disen-
gaged. In normal practices, however, shift to
neutral before starting.
THROTTLE GRIP
The throttle grip "1" is located on the right han-
dlebar; it accelerates or decelerates the en-
gine. For acceleration, turn the grip toward you;
for deceleration, turn it away from you.
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.

FUEL COCK
The fuel cock supplies fuel from the tank to car-
buretor and also filters the fuel. The fuel cock
has the three positions:
OFF:
With the lever in this position, fuel will not flow.
Always return the lever to this position 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.
RES:
With the lever in this position fuel flows to the
carburetor from the reserve section of the fuel
tank after the main supply of the fuel has been
depleted. Normal riding is possible with the le-
ver is in this position, but it is recommended to
add fuel as soon as possible.
