OPERATION
Starting the Engine
7. Move the engine stop switch to RUN.
NOTE: Do not press the throttle while starting the engine.
8. Turn the i gnition key past the ON position to engage the starter.
Activate the starter for a maximum of five seconds, releasing the
key when the engine starts.
9. If the engine does not start, release t he key and wait five seconds.
Activate the starter for another five seconds. Repeat this procedure
until the engine starts.
NOTE: If a warm engine has cooled to a point where it does not
readily start, intermittent use of the choke button (pulled half
way out) may be necessary. If the engine is over-choked
when warm, depress the throttle lever fully while cranking to
aid in starting. Release the throttle lever immediately after
the engine starts. If the engine does not start and all
conditions are favorable, change the spark plug and try
again.
10. If the engine slows, position the choke knob half way in to allow
proper engine warm up. Vary the engine RPM slightly with the
throttle to aid in warm-up. When the engine idles smoothly, push
the choke completely in.
CAUTION
Operating the vehicle immediately after starting could cause
engine damage. Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes
before operating the vehicle.
