CONTROL FUNCTIONS
EC150000
CONTROL FUNCTIONS
EC151000
“ENGINE STOP” BUTTON
The “ENGINE STOP” button 1 is located on
the left handlebar. Continue pushing the
“ENGINE STOP” button till the engine comes
to a stop.
EC152000
CLUTCH LEVER
The clutch lever 1 is located on the left han-
dlebar; it disengages or engages the clutch.
Pull the clutch lever to the handlebar to disen-
gage the clutch, and release the lever to
engage the clutch. The lever should be pulled
rapidly and released slowly for smooth starts.
EC153000
SHIFT PEDAL
The gear ratios of the constant-mesh 5 speed
transmission are ideally spaced. The gears
can be shifted by using the shift pedal 1 on
the left side of the engine.
EC154000
KICK STARTER
Rotate the kick starter 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 kick starter so the engine can be
started in any gear if the clutch is disengaged.
In normal practices, however, shift to neutral
before starting.
