drive system. This high speed shaft revolution
causes the rapid lifting and downward
ramming motion of the machine as well as
imparting a forward motion.
Engine switch
The engine switch enables and disables the
ignition system. The engine switch must be in
the ON position for the engine to run.
Turning the engine switch to the OFF position
stops the engine.
Running the engine with dirty oil can cause
premature engine wear and failure. Changing
