half throttle, carefully engage the rotor
by slowly pushing the clutch down, al-
lowing the rotor to speed up gradually.
Engaging the clutch too quickly with
the engine at full or half throttle will
bog down the engine and will shorten
the life of the belt. To disengage the
rotor, first idle the engine down, then
lift the clutch up.
