Operating Instructions

Before engaging the flexshaft with a petrol drive unit start the motor using the recoil starter, increase the speed to full throttle and allow it to warm up for a few minutes. (If the motor is fitted with an on/off switch this must first be turned ON before starting.) Stop the motor. Turn the bell housing trigger 180 degrees. Insert the flexshaft coupling fully into the housing of the drive unit and release the trigger. Push the coupling into the housing and twist the flexible shaft until the drive dogs are fully engaged and the trigger returns to the horizontal position. The motor may now be started Drive units should be operated on a level surface. If the surface is not level the drive unit should be restrained to ensure that it does not move due to vibration or the weight of a pump and hose or vibrator.
