Engine Ignition Switch
This machine features a key switch ignition.
Start: Turn the key all the way clockwise or START to
engage the engine starter motor. Once the engine
starts release the key.
Note: Always start this machine with the engine
throttle in the idle or "slow" position.
Run: This is the position of the key while the engine is
running.
Off: Turn the key to the "OFF" position to stop the
engine from running.
Note: For safety, always close the propane cylinder
valve to stop the engine and then turn the key switch
to the "OFF" position.
Engine Throttle
The engine throttle controls the engine speed. To
increase engine speed, move the hand lever forward.
For idle position, pull the lever back.
Hour Meter / Tachometer
The hour meter / tachometer records the number
of hours the machine has been powered ON. The
hour meter reading is used to mark recommended
maintenance intervals. It also displays the engine
speed. This meter displays hours when the machine
is turned OFF and engine speed when the machine is
turned ON.
Handle Adjustment
1. The height of the handle can be adjusted by raising
or lowering the handle.
2. If necessary, use a wrench to loosen the nut that
retains the handle in the adjustment bracket.
Clutch Switch Lever
The clutch switch lever when pulled will engage the
electric clutch. On models that have an electric clutch,
the pad will not turn until the switch is engaged. Only
one lever must be engaged to activate the switch. This
allows the user to alternate hands during operation.
