The

upper

illustration

shows

the

distance

[4.5

in.

(115

mm)]

that

the

standard

hand-crank

handle

protrudes

from

the

crank-handle

guide

on

the

engine.

An

additional

2.5

in.

(64

mm)

minimum

must

be

allowed

for

room

to

insert

the

handle.

If

hand cranking must be done from outside the engine

compartment (see lower illustration), then the standard

hand-crank handle must be extended to the required length.

This modification to the handle must be done by the owner.

HANDLE

The

engine

may

be

started

by

hand-cranking

in

an

emergency

or

when

the

starting

battery

has

become

too

low

to

allow

an

electric

start.

A

manual

start

is

possible

with

a

completely

dead

battery.

For

easy

and

safe

manual

starting,

the

engine

is

fitted

with

an

Automatic

Decompression

Device

and

a

Cold

Starting

Device.

Use

both

of

these

devices

when

hand-cranking.

Before

using

the

hand-crank

handle,

an

attempt

at

a

normal

electric

start

could

be

made

by

using

the

Automatic

Decompression

Device

(see

Low

Battery

Electric

Starting

under

ELECfRlC SfAR1);

the

electrical

power

required

for

the

start

would

then

be

considerably

less,

so

that

a

discharged

battery,

if

not

completely

dead,

might

allow

the

start

NOTE:

Oil

will

be

supplied

to

all

the

bearing

points

when

hand-cranking.

Automatic Decompression Device

The

Automatic

Decompression

Device

works

by

holding

the

exhaust

valve

open.

The

device

has

three

positions,

as

indicated

by

the

pointer.

When

setting

the

pointer,

tum

the

hex-head

bolt

with

a

10

mm

wrench.

A

CAUTION:

Neller

use

the

Automatic

Decompression

Device

to

stop

the

engine.
