USING THE KICK STARTER. Put Gear Lever in Neutral and push Kick Starter Pedal down until Compression is fet. Then loose it back to its original position and lift Exhaust Lever. Put some force behind it, and push down Pedal as far as it will go, releasing Exhaust Lever just as the push down is well started, before reaching half way. FOR STARTING OFF. Set Carburester for running slowly. Release Clutch and put Gear Lever in Low. Gradually open Throttle; at the same time, steadily let in Clutch, DO NOT try t0 put in any Gear with Engine running until Clutch is released. CHANGING GEAR. When changing from a LOW to a HIGHER GEAR, use the Clutch, and make « slight pause in Neutral Changing fram a HIGH to a LOWER GEAR. use the Clutch and make 2 slight pause in Neutral. Loose Clutch gently and move the Lever into next position. The length of the pause is subject to so many varying factors thet no definite rule can be laid down, but it should be long enough to enable the engine cither (o gain speed for a Lower Gear, or lose speed for a Higher Gear, relative to the Road Wheel, about proportionate © the difference in the Gear Ratio. ON SLIPPING THE CLUTCH. This must not be done to assist the Engine up Hills, When the Engine begins to labour, change into the next Lower Gear; but, in traffic, or for cornering, itis quite in order. and will do no harm if net carried to excess under a heavy load, CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT Is rarely necessary, and all js correct, so long as the Adjusting Nuts are level wath the face, and the Spring Plate lifts equally. If not, the Nuts should be eased off on the Low side, and tightened on the High side. CLUTCH ROD CLEARANCE. I is important that there should always be a clearance of not less than :| the end of the Clutch Rod and the Ball in the Clutch Lever at the Kick Starter end of the Box, Failure to allow this clearance will mean a slipping Clutch, and will probably result in burning out the Corks. CONTROL BRACKETS. If these are clipped on to the Frame Tube, care should be taken that they are screwed up securely. otherwise the Bracket is likely to slip round the Tube, and will interfere with the Gear positions inside the Box. ADJUSTMENT TO TAKE UP CHAIN WEAR. Take great care that when the Box is finally tightened up in the Frame, the CHAINS ARE NOT TIGHT; poll round slowly for at least two turns of the largest of the two Wheels, and see that there is a slight sag in the Chain. even in the tightest place. After Chain adjustment test the Gear Positions, particularly on Tank Control Models. LUBRICATION All Boxes are sent out filled with Grease, and should be replenished every 1000 miles with GARGOYLE MOBILUBRICANT EXTRA SOFT. The Box should not be completely filled or grease will be forced out through the Bearings, We do not recommend the use of oil or heavy grease,BURMAN GEARS ARRANGEMENT OF GEARS IN MODEL “Q.” The main reasons for the universal popularity of the Burman Box, both from the manu- facturers and the public point of view, are as follows: — GEAR CONSTRUCTION. ‘The Gears are always in mesh and all changes are made by means of dog clutches. ‘The design of the dogs is such that a very easy change is obtained with practically no back lash in gears. The whole of the gears are made of oil toughened Chrome Nickel steel of the very best make, thereby giving the strength of full section of tecth as against other gears with a soft core which only give a very thin hardened case to take the whole strain. The loss of power due to of any other make, THE KICK STARTER does NOT operate on the layshaft, as in other makes of gear box. _ This practice is unsound, as it leads to noisy jgears, badly worn bearings and insufficient motion (0 turn over the engine quickly encugh. The Burman Kick Starter has none of these faults. It is strong, efficient and reliable. and entirely separate from the gear mechanism. THE BURMAN CLUTCH is known to be the sweetest and to give the easiest control of any clutch made. Agents therefore confidently recommend machi ied with the Burman Clutch, as they now that besides ease of control and joy ing, motor cycles firted with the Burman Gears have a longer life and give less trouble, ternal friction in the Burman Gears is lower than that SHOCK ABSORBER. Alll Burman Boxes are fitted with our patent Shock Absorber. This prevents any sudden jar on Chains, etc... when engine is pulling slowly on hills, etc,, and lengthens life of Chains and Engine. GEAR POSITIONS are locked by means of our patent rack and pawl inside the box. all paris being free from dust and running in lubricant,COMPONENT PARTS—BURMAN MODEL “Q.” {i37-QWHEN ORDERING SPARES STATE NAME AND TYPE OF MACHINE, ALSO LETTER AND NUMBER OF GEAR BOX, AND, IF POSSIBLE, SEND PARTS AS PATTERNS.
