CONTROL FUNCTIONS
MAIN SWITCH
Functions of the respective switch positions
are as follows:
ON:
The engine can be started only at this position.
OFF:
All electrical circuits are switched off.
Main switch indicator light
The main switch 1 is equipped with an indica-
tor light 2 to avoid forgetting to turn it off. This
light functions as follows.
It lights up with the main switch “ON”.
It goes out when the engine increases its
speed after being started.
It lights up again when the engine is stopped.
NOTE:
If the indicator light will not light up with the
main switch “ON”, it shows a lack of the battery
voltage. Recharge the battery. If the engine is
kick started, turn off the light switch.

“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.

INFO
STARTING AND BREAK-IN
NOTE:
If the engine fails to start by pushing the start
switch, release the switch, wait a few seconds,
and then try again. Each starting attempt
should be as short as possible to preserve the
battery. Do not crank the engine more than
10 seconds on any one attempt. If the engine
does not start with the starter motor, try using
the kickstarter.
WARNING
If the starter motor will not turn when
pushing the start switch, stop pushing it
immediately and kick start the engine in
order to avoid the load on the motor.
Do not open the throttle while kicking the
kickstarter. Otherwise, the kickstarter
may kick back.
7. Return the cold starter knob to its original
position and run the engine at 3,000 ~
5,000 r/min for 1 or 2 minutes.
NOTE:
Since this model is equipped with an accelera-
tor pump, if the engine is raced (the throttle
opened and closed), the air/fuel mixture will be
too rich and the engine may stall. Also unlike a
two-stroke engine, this model can idle.
CAUTION:
Do not warm up the engine for extended
periods of time.
