TARTING THE ENGINE
This vehicle is equipped with an ignition cutout operated by the handbrake. If the handbrake is on, then
the engine will not start.
This vehicle is equipped with a CVT automatic gearbox which engages directly with the rear
wheels. When starting the engine, you must press the footbrake and the throttle must be shut.
After the engine has started, release the footbrake and gently open the throttle.
The fuel injection system also comprises a vacuum pump and a choke which automatically assist engine
starts.
EVEN SLIGHTLY OPENING THE THROTTLE WILL CAUSE THE AUTOMATIC GEARBOX TO TURN
THE REAR WHEELS. AFTER STARTING, RELEASE THE FOOTBRAKE VERY SLOWLY AND
GENTLY OPEN THE THROTTLE.
When you start the engine, the fuel injection system takes into account the engine temperature, ambient
temperatures, and surrounding air pressure.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Close the throttle and turn the ignition key to the OFF position. Remove the key.
PRECAUTIONS
TO AVOID DAMAGING THE ENGINE, NEVER RUN HIGH ENGINE SPEEDS AFTER A
COLD START. WHEN TRAVELLING DOWNHILL TAKE CARE NOT TO EXCEED
THE VEHICLE’S MAXIMUM SPEED. IF YOU EXCEED MAXIMUM ENGINE SPEED THEN A
GOVERNOR WILL BE ACTIVATED TO PROTECT THE ENGINE FROM DAMAGE.
IF YOU HAVE RIDDEN A LONG DISTANCE AT MAXIMUM SPEED, NEVER STOP THE
ENGINE IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS. LET THE ENGINE IDLE IN NEUTRAL
FOR A FEW SECONDS FIRST.
CARRYING OUT ALTERATIONS MAY CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE.
TUNING MEASURES OR ANY OTHER MODIFICATIONS TO EITHER THE
ENGINE, THE CVT AUTOMATIC GEARBOX, OR TO THE VEHICLE ITSELF WILL
INVALIDATE THE VEHICLE’S WARRANTY.
