Kickstarter
To start the engine, fold out the kick-
starter lever, move it down lightly with
your foot until the gears engage, and
then push it down smoothly but force-
fully. This model is equipped with a pri-
mary kickstarter, allowing the engine to
be started in any gear if the clutch is
disengaged. However, shifting the
transmission into the neutral position
before starting is recommended.

Decompression lever
When this lever is pulled, the exhaust
valve is forced open so that the com-
pression pressure can be reduced.
This allows the piston to be moved just
past the compression stroke before
kick starting. (See page 5-2.)
