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.

Choke
If you pull the choke button [2] out as far as possible, a bore in the carbure-
tor will be opened through which the engine may take in additional fuel. The
result is a „fat“ fuel-air mixture of the type needed for cold starts.
To deactivate the choke, push the choke button back into its basic position.
