The engine switch is designed for easy operation
with the interlocking mechanism between the fuel
cock and the choke furnished.

When the engine stops due to oil shortage, it can
not be started anymore even by pulling the start
knob (just the alarm lamp flickers). In such a case,
replenish engine oil up to the mouth of the oil filling
port.
(Refer to page 6 for details about the oil
replenishing procedure).

The AUTO POWER SAVE LAMP is turned on when
the switch is in the “ON” position.
With the switch in the “

” marking position, the

engine speed is reduced automatically when no
electricity is taken out, while the engine speed is
automatically adjusted in accordance with the load
condition when the electricity is taken out.  
When using in the heavy load condition, set the
switch into the “

” marking position to maintain

the electric power level in the stable condition.
When using DC power, turn the switch into the
“OFF” position.
