GASOLINE ENGINE CONTROLS
See Figure B.2 for the location of the following fea-
tures:
1. FUEL SHUTOFF VALVE: Stops the flow of gaso-
line from the fuel tank to the carburetor. Should
be closed by turning full clockwise whenever you
are finished using the POWER ARC 5000. Open
fuel shutoff valve by turning full counterclockwise
before starting the engine.
2. FUEL TANK AND CAP: Holds 5.5 gallons (20.8
liters) of unleaded gasoline.
3. MUFFLER: Reduces engine noise output. Does
not serve as a spark arrester. See SPARK
ARRESTER in the INSTALLATION section of this
manual.
4. STOP SWITCH: Stops the engine by grounding
the ignition circuit.
5. AIR CLEANER: Filters intake air to the carburetor.
See ENGINE MAINTENANCE in the MAINTE-
NANCE section of this manual for details about
the specific type of air cleaner to use.
6. CHOKE: Provides a richer air/fuel mixture for cold
engine starting conditions. See the topic ENGINE
OPERATION, below, for details on setting the
choke.
7. RECOIL STARTER: Manual, rope-type starter.
The handle position allows easy starting from
either ground level or pickup-truck level.
8. OIL DRAIN PLUG: Permits convenient draining of
engine oil during maintenance.
9. OIL FILL AND DIP-STICK: Permits convenient
checking of oil level and filling of engine oil.
10. LOW IDLE SPEED PULL DOWN: Pull this lever
out and latch it to reduce the engine idle to 2200
RPM when a low idle is desired. Release lever
and let engine return to high idle 3700 RPM
before aplying any type of load.
