Emergency OFF switch (EXC Australia)

The red emergency-OFF switch

is arranged adjacent to the throttle grip.

In this position, the E-starter is operational and the engine can
be started.

In this position, the E-starter and ignition circuits are interrup-
ted. The E-starter cannot be actuated, and the engine will not
start, not even if you attempt to start it with the kickstarter.

Pushing the black starter button

will actuate the E-starter.

Fuel tap

OFF In this position the fuel tap is closed. No fuel can flow to the carburetor.
ON During operation the twist grip must be turned to ON. This means

that the fuel can flow to the carburetor. With the twist grip in this
position the tank will be emptied until only the reserve is left.

RES The reserve tank cannot be tapped until the rotating handle is turned

to the RES position. Fill the tank as soon as possible and remember to
turn the rotating handle back to the ON position so that you will have
backup fuel next time, too.

fuel. The result is a „fat“ fuel-air mixture of the type needed for cold starts.
