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.

STARTING AND BREAK-IN
STARTING AND BREAK-IN
WARNING
Never start or run the engine in a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are poisonous;
they can cause loss of consciousness and
death in a very short time. Always operate
the machine in a well-ventilated area.
CAUTION:
The carburetor on this motorcycle has a
built-in accelerator pump. Therefore,
when starting the engine, do not operate
the throttle or the spark plug will foul.
Unlike a two-stroke engine, this engine
cannot be kick started when the throttle is
open because the kick starter may kick
back. Also, if the throttle is open the air/
fuel mixture may be too lean for the
engine to start.
Never use the decompression lever after
the engine is started. The engine may be
damaged if you use the decompression
lever while it is running.
Before starting the machine, perform the
checks in the pre-operation check list.
STARTING A COLD ENGINE
1. Inspect the coolant level.
2. Turn the fuel cock to “ON”.
3. Shift the transmission into neutral.
4. Fully open the cold starter knob.
5. Without pulling in the decompression
lever, slowly depress the kick starter until
the compression stroke is found. When
considerable resistance of the kick starter
is felt, the engine is on the compression
stroke. If the engine is on the exhaust
stroke, resistance will only be felt when
the kick starter is initially depressed, not
through the entire range of depression
(as when the engine is on the compres-
sion stroke); therefore, depress the kick
starter a few more times.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

CLEANING
Frequent cleaning of your machine will
enhance its appearance, maintain good over-
all performance, and extend the life of many
components.
1. Before washing the machine, block off
the end of the exhaust pipe to prevent
water from entering. A plastic bag
secured with a rubber band may be used
for this purpose.
2. If the engine is excessively greasy, apply
some degreaser to it with a paint brush.
Do not apply degreaser to the chain,
sprockets, or wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a
garden hose; use only enough pressure
to do the job.
CAUTION:
Excessive hose pressure may cause water
seepage and contamination of wheel bear-
ings, front forks, brakes and transmission
seals. Many expensive repair bills have
resulted from improper high pressure
detergent applications such as those avail-
able in coin-operated car washers.
4. After the majority of the dirt has been
hosed off, wash all surfaces with warm
water and a mild detergent. Use an old
toothbrush to clean hard-to-reach places.
5. Rinse the machine off immediately with
clean water, and dry all surfaces with a
soft towel or cloth.
6. Immediately after washing, remove
excess water from the chain with a paper
towel and lubricate the chain to prevent
rust.
7. Clean the seat with a vinyl upholstery
cleaner to keep the cover pliable and
glossy.

REINIGUNG UND STILLEGUNG
REINIGUNG UND STILLEGUNG
REINIGUNG
Eine regelmäßige, gründliche Wäsche sorgt nicht
nur für gutes Aussehen, sondern verbessert auch
das allgemeine Betriebsverhalten, reduziert Ver-
schleiß und bewirkt somit eine längere Lebens-
dauer und besseren Werterhalt.
1. Vor der Wäsche eine Plastiktüte über die
Schalldämpferöffnung stülpen und mit ei-
nem Gummiband sichern, damit kein
Wasser eindringen kann.
2. Bei stark veröltem Motor mit einem Pin-
sel Kaltreiniger auftragen. Jedoch keinen
Kaltreiniger auf Antriebskette, Kettenrä-
der und Radachsen bringen.
3. Schmutz und Kaltreiniger mit einem Was-
serschlauch gründlich abspülen. Dabei
den Wasserdruck möglichst gering halten.
ACHTUNG:
Durch zu hohen Wasserdruck können Wasser
und Verunreinigungen in Radlager, Teleskop-
gabel, Schwingenlager, Bremsen, Getriebe-
dichtungen und elektrische Komponenten
eindringen. Viele teure Reparaturen sind die
Folge falscher Anwendung von Hochdruckrei-
nigern (Dampfstrahler), wie sie z. B. bei Münz-
waschanlagen zu finden sind.
4. Nach dem Abspülen des groben Schmut-
zes alle Oberflächen mit warmem Wasser
und einem milden Reinigungsmittel abwa-
schen. Schwer zugängliche Stellen lassen
sich am besten mit einer alten Zahnbürste
oder einer Flaschenbürste reinigen.
5. Unmittelbar danach das Fahrzeug mit sau-
berem Wasser abspülen und mit einem
Waschleder, sauberen Tuch oder weichen,
saugfähigen Lappen abtrocknen.
6. Die Kette trocknen und sofort schmieren,
um Korrosion zu verhindern.
7. Die Sitzbank mit einem Reiniger für
Vinylpolster abwischen, damit der Bezug
geschmeidig und glänzend bleibt.
NETTOYAGE ET RANGEMENT
NETTOYAGE
Un nettoyage fréquent de la machine améliorera
son aspect, maintiendra ses bonnes performances et
augmentera la durée de service de bon nombre de
ses composants.
1. Avant de laver la moto, boucher la sortie du
pot d’échappement pour éviter toute pénétra-
tion d’eau. Un sachet en plastique retenu par
un élastique fera l’affaire.
2. Si le moteur est fortement encrassé, appliquer
un peu de dégraissant au pinceau. Eviter tout
contact avec la chaîne, ses pignons et les axes
de roue.
3. Rincer la boue et le dégraissant avec un tuyau
d’arrosage, en utilisant juste la pression suffi-
sante.
ATTENTION:
Une pression excessive risque de provoquer des
infiltrations d’eau dans les roulements des
roues, la fourche avant, des freins et les joints de
la transmission. Noter que bien des notes de
réparation onéreuses ont résulté de l’emploi
abusif des vaporisateurs de détergent à haute
pression, tels que ceux qui équipent les laveries
automatiques de voitures.
4. Après avoir chassé la majeure partie de la
boue, laver toutes les surfaces avec de l’eau
chaude et un détergent neutre. Utiliser une
vieille brosse à dents pour atteindre les
endroits difficiles d’accès.
5. Rincer immédiatement l’engin avec de l’eau
propre et sécher toutes les surfaces avec un
chiffon doux.
6. Immédiatement après le lavage, éliminer
l’excès d’eau de la chaîne avec des mou-
choirs en papier et lubrifier la chaîne pour
éviter qu’elle ne rouille.
7. Nettoyer la selle avec un produit pour meu-
bles rembourrés pour que sa housse reste sou-
ple et brillante.
