DRIVING, OPERATION, AND SAFETY
(continued)
a) Make sure engine is not running and is cool.
b) Open the two fuel shutoff valves. One valve is located on the bottom side of the fuel
tank, and the second is located on the back of the engine.
c) Check for proper Throttle Lever operation. Pull and release the Throttle Lever on the
right handlebar. It must operate smoothly and automatically return to the idle position.
d) Check that the machine starts in NEUTRAL.
To avoid an unanticipated sudden movement of the machine at
startup, follow these procedures. Before attempting to start, always
verify that the transmission is completely in neutral by rolling it
forward. . Set the parking brake. Do not operate the throttle lever
while starting. Do not operate the machine if the neutral safety
mechanism is not working.
.
i) Move the Shift Lever until it contacts the right side of the Shift-Stop and release the
Shift-Lever.
ii) Verify that this position locates NEUTRAL (the machine should easily roll forwards
and backwards when in NEUTRAL).
iii) Engage the Parking Brake.
iv) Choke the engine, if necessary, but
DO NOT
operate the Throttle Lever while
starting. High engine speed can cause the clutch to engage and the machine to lurch
during starting.
v) Set the kill switch to the ON position.
vi) Have firm footing on the ground when attempting to start the Machine. Stand to the
side, rather than to the rear of Machine when attempting to start.
vii) Pull the starter cord to start the engine. After the engine starts, place the choke in
the RUN position.
e) Check for proper engine speed at Idle and full speed (perform this test while in
NEUTRAL).
