Set the engine throttle lever or pedal to the l/3 position of the
full lever or pedal stroke.
If the engine does not start with the initial cranking, keep the
batteries stationary a while to recover their power and,
reattempt the preheating and the cranking operation.

to within 10 seconds.
(5) In cranking operation, when a phenomenon, that the starter
pinion and the flywheel ring gear engagement to repeated
disengage and engage take place, as ths is a sign of weakened
battery power, charge the batteries with an external electrical
source.
(6) In an extreme cold temperature engine starting, do the engine
cranking a while with setting the throttle lever at no fuel position
to allow the engine rotating or travelling parts come to an
unrestricted condition from the adhesive cold lubricant, after then
