switches should be tested every time the engine is started.
NOTE
NEVER! disable or disconnect the kill switch. It is provided for
operator safety. Injury may result if it is disabled, disconnected, or
improperly maintained.
7.8 HANDLE PRESS KILL SWITCH
Located on the main handle tube is a red switch (FIG. 5). The switching
mechanism of this switch should operate freely and should always be kept
in this condition. With the switch in the OFF position, the engine should not
start or run. The purpose of this switch is to stop the engine in a runaway
situation, (i.e.-the operator releasing the handle during operation).
DO NOT
let the machine sit unused with the engine at high speed for an
extended period of time. It will cause premature belt wear or may destroy
the belt.
ALWAYS set the engine speed to idle when the hand clutch is disengaged.
