STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Move the cell/crank start switch of the machine to the cell
start position.
2. Move the main switch of the machine to the ON position.
2. Start the cell motor by moving the transmitter engine starter
switch to the on position. Do not run starter longer than 10
seconds to avoid overheating.
3. Warm up engine without load for 3 to 5 minutes.
OPERATING THE MACHINE
1. Read all safety information in this manual and understand
the operation of this machine thoroughly before starting
operation.
2. The infra-red remote control system controls the stepless
adjustable speed, forward-reverse, and steering of the
machine by a single joystick lever in the transmitter.
3. Press the joystick lever slightly to the direction you want the
machine to travel.
4. The speed is also controlled by the joystick lever and is
determined by the pressed angle.
5. Switch on the vibration switch of the transmitter to activate
transmission.
RESTARTING THE ENGINE
1. If starting fails or engine stops suddenly, allow an interval
of a few seconds to make sure that the crankshaft of the
engine is completely stopped.
2. Move the transmitter engine starter switch to the on position
to restart.
RESTARTING WITH REMOTE CABLE
1. If machine still fails to restart, check for the following:
The operator approached the machine too closely.
The transmitter is too far from the control area.
Low Battery Power.
2. To check if restart failure is due to the reasons listed in step
3, move the transmitter engine starter switch to the on
position. Check if the signal lamp. If it does not flash then
reasons listed are confirmed.
5. The remote control cable may be used to restart the engine
in this case. See Battery Charging Section on how to install
the remote control cable.
6. Move the machine main switch to the ON position.
7. Move the transmitter engine starter switch to the on position.
