2.2.2 STARTING ENGINE IN COLD WEATHER
CAUTION
• Do not keep the starter turned for more than 5 seconds. Doing so will accelerate the battery
discharge.
Wait for about 1 minute before attempting to start the engine again if it did not start.
• Verify that the fuel lever of the water separator pot is at the vertical position (open) before
starting the engine.
• Verify that the main switch on the remote control reciver is at the “OFF” position.
Start the engine as follows when it is cold.
1. Insert the key into the starter switch and turn the key to “HEAT”
(preheat) position. Keep the position until the “preheat monitor”
goes off.
Release your hand, and the key will automatically return to the
“ON” position.
NOTES
When the starter switch is operated to the “HEAT” (preheat)
position, the “preheat monitor” lights up, indicating that the
engine is preheated.
When the engine preheating has completed, the “preheat
monitor” goes off.
2. Step on the acceleration pedal (6) to the half of the full stroke
and operate the engine at medium speed.
3. When the “preheat monitor” goes off, turn the key to the
“START” position.
4. Release your hand from the key once the engine has started.
The key will automatically return to the “ON” position.
