7. CONTROLS
Engine run-stop switch
To shut off engine, turn switch to stop position. Before attempting to start engine, be sure
switch is in run position.
Engine choke control
If engine does not start initially set choke control to full on position. When engine starts,
set choke control to normal operating position.
Engine recoil starter handle
It takes short, steady pulls in rapid succession to start engine. Do not jerk the starter
handle. Do not release the starter handle when fully extended and let it snap back.
Ram control valve
To extend ram, pull control lever to extend as the decal indicates. Holding the lever in
this position, ram will continue to travel forward to its fully extended position until either
the lever is released or until the ram reaches its fully extended position.
As a safety precaution, when lever is released it will automatically move to the center
hold position, and the ram will stop. This lever feature is referred to as a "deadman"
control switch. To move the ram, push the lever in the same direction as you wish the ram
to move.
To retract ram, reverse the position of the control lever to the retract position. The
control lever handle will stay in the retract mode until the cylinder reaches the full retract
position and then it will automatically center to the hold position. However, the cylinder
may be stopped at any position during the retract cycle by manually putting the control
lever in the center hold position.
