Fuel tap
OFF In this position the fuel tap is closed. No fuel can flow to the carbure-
tor.
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.
Choke knob
When pulling the choke knob [6] fully towards the top, a bore is opened in
the carburetor. Through this bore the engine can take in additional fuel. This
results in a rich fuel-air mixture, that is needed for a cold start.
When pressing the choke knob downward in the carburetor, the bore is closed
again.
Choke lever on the handlebar
When you press the choke lever [5], a hole in the carburetor is opened through
which the engine can take in additional fuel. The result is a "rich" fuel-air
mixture of the type needed for cold starts.
Press the choke lever all the way up to close the hole in the carburetor again.
