Starting the Engine (Cold Start)
WARNING!
Never use start spray or similar agents to start an
engine.
This may cause an explosion in the inlet mani-
fold. Danger of personal injury.
IMPORTANT!
Also refer to the Operator's manual for information on
how to start the engine.
General
The throttle must always be in the neutral position
before start. The engine control system ensures that
the engine receives the correct amount of fuel, even
when the engine is cold.
The engine is pre-heated by the control unit, which also
allows the start motor to crank a few revolutions before
fuel is injected. The colder the engine is, the more rev-
olutions the engine is cranked. This increases the tem-
perature in the combustion chambers, which guaran-
tees a safe start and reduces starting smoke.
Idle speed is also controlled by engine temperature
and is somewhat higher after a cold start.
